Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know Christmas ended forevers ago. You don't have to remind me. But I thought I would grace you with my Christmasy presence anyway...
1. Behold...the glorious garage-sale Christmas tree of holy awesomeness of great joy!
So, yah. I bought the 9 foot tree at a garage sale for 7 bones and it is so a Charlie Brown lame-spice tree. But it gave me an excuse to make many trips to Hobby Lobby to spruce it up. Oh...and check out my anal-ness with the matching presents. Yeah...they rocked....my socks...if I wore socks...which I don't.

2. Hark! The cutest stockings you have ever seen!
So...I challenged myself to sew my own tree skirt and stockings, this year. I picked out the fabric and everything. But, busy-ness settled in (aka...laziness) and I didn't finish the tree skirt or even START on the stockings. Guess what my mom surprised me with? She sewed the stockings for us! She is the coolest mom. Probably cooler than your mom.

3. Taking a picture while baking cookies and grabbing something out of the cupboard!Self explanatory...move along.
4. Baking way too many sugar cookies.
Yah, so I got the bright idea to bake a double batch of sugar cookies, resulting in 50 extra tree-shaped cookies chillaxin' in our freezer.
5. Ted baking his "secret chocolate chip cookies"!
So, this is Ted. He is crazy. He makes a delicious chocolate chip cookie, but I have had my suspicions about it being a "secret recipe". My doubts were confirmed when he opened a bag of Nestle chocolate chips and spied the recipe on the side of the bag. He proclaimed "What! That's MY recipe!"...and I laughed.
6. Mmm...soft sugar cookies.
These are actually a secret recipe. So don't ask for the recipe. Geez.

7. Peace?

8. Christmas Eve party of freakin' awesomeness of tidings of great joy!
So here we are...stuffed with fattening food to fatten us like little piggies.

9. O Christmas Tree!
so...here is the tree. obviously.
so...here is the tree. obviously.
10. Whose legs are whose?
I quite possibly confused the usage of the words "who's" and "whose". If I used incorrectly, than go ahead and feed me to some ravenous pigeons. But seriously, which legs are mine?

11. The Face girls at the Christmas Eve party of awesomeness and good tidings of great joy!
We are cooler than the boys.
12. I was wearing an undershirt...I promise.
Don't be deceived.
13. A little Christmas Eve photo op.
Any way to shamelessly show off my camera skills. jk. But srsly.
14. Umm...yeah...so Ted and I kiss.
Turn your eyes away...move along...nothing to see here.
15. I don't know this man.
How did he get on my camera?
16. Is that the Mama Face in 20 year old Lauren form?
frightening.
17. 5 AM on Christmas Morning of Christmasy awesomeness and happiness!
Don't be deceived, I was truly happy to open the present that I am about to reveal...
Don't be deceived, I was truly happy to open the present that I am about to reveal...
18. Opening his 120 GB Ipod!
Look at the funny face!
19. The revealing of the awesome gift and hideous Lauren morning face!
That's a good job Ted.
20. The Ted's gifts to Lauren, loot!
*Twilight in hardcover (so I can send the paperback to Chell!)
*50 bones to Forever 21
*Cullen Crest Keychain (hahahahaha)
*Paramore's "Riot" CD
*2 seasons of "The OC" (so addicting)
*Twilight shirt
*Hollister red polo
*Silky polka dot jammies from Victoria's Secret
*2 Twilight cute signs.
21. The Face girls on Christmas morning of awesome Christmasy goodness!
Lauren without makeup is reminiscent of Eeezma on "The Emperor's New Groove".
22. This picture is evidence that the world is going down the freakin' crapper.
I saw all of the little cousins sitting with their electronic devices INSTEAD of opening presents on Christmas Day of Christmasy Awesomeness, and I nearly threw up in my mouth...but I made it to the toilet instead. *hangs head in shame*
23. Ty Face.
24. Ted Face.
25. Mom Face.
26. Zach Face.
THE END.
Now for a quick poll...
When you see a movie theater with a number, such as "AMC 24"...what does the number mean? Ty and I know the answer, but we are conducting a study. Please answer this life-changing question.
63 awesomespice comments:
First Really??? ok I think it means there are 24 small theatres inside or could it be they show 24 different movies. Thats my guess :)
As for the rest Lauren you ROCK!! the pictures were great!!!!
I know... I know... pick me!!!
The #24 means that there are 24 theaters. :)
such cute signs! where did he buy them? Or did he have them made? I totally want one of them! LOVE IT!
i absolutely love the the signs those are amazing!!!! and im gonna go with what the girl said above me.. there are 24 theaters.. sounds about right to me!! haha
It means there's 24 screens, right?
ANYways:
Your title threw me off for a few seconds. And my brain is hurting right now so I didn't want to think about it for very long. Then I realized you were being clever. As usual.:)
Cute apron!
Soft sugar cookies are the only kind of sugar cookie to eat. Say no to hard cookies!
A 9' tree? Holy cow! That wouldn't fit in our living room. Unless there was no star.
#10- your mom, SIL, you
Makeup at 5AM? In #17 it definitely looks like you have on makeup. Wish I looked that good that early! And in #21 you still look great. No resemblance to the old evil woman on Emperor's New Groove. (side note: Did you hear that Eartha Kitt died? sad)
Cool gifts from Ted! Where did he find the Twilight signs?
Looks like a fabulous Face Christmas!!
Ok, so I just now read the other comments & my "24" guess was the same as theirs. And we're all wondering about the signs. Did Ted start a trend?
Ok, Pardon me as I convet your awesome apron!!!! Did your mom make it??? Love it! L. O. V. E. it!!!!
I've never posted a comment on your personal blog, I hope you don't mind but this was a a cute post. And that sign..totally saw it on Etsy and I wanted one majorly then and I want one insanely Now!
24 = 24 theaters or screens inside.
Awesome post! Your pictures crack me up. And Lauren, inquiring minds want to know: is your hair wavy or straight? And how do you get those awesome curls?
Kthnxbai!
24 screens of course!! Not necessarily 24 movies, but anyway, cute christmas post
Your retelling of Christmas and all the pictures make me want to load up my family of 6, drive to Arizona and park myself smack dab in the middle of your living room. Just to watch all the goings on and pray for adoption to take place...
Glad you had so much fun.
Dont knoe about the 24...hmmmm... But anyway, your Christmas looks awesome, your little perfectly wrapped presents are the best! I love the thoughtfull nature of your Mothers hand made stockings! I am addicted to reading and trying to catch myself up on your blog...My 15 year old daughter was reading and was like NOOOOO YOU are not going to believe this Mom... Lauren has an Edward Licence plate! It is sooooo cool, you really are the coolest! Yep its true! My daughter and I both agree! Thank you for being such a shining example to young LDS girls every where reading your blog, I have told all of my friends about you and I'm sure you will have many more followers from Idaho soon! ttfn Trish
I'm obviously not the only one that knows this but it means there are 24 different rooms inside that particular theatre in which to play movies.
This was fun. Looks like you had a splendid Christmas! A lot like mine. And you look great without makeup!
May I ask why you are wearing jeans under your skirt? Not that I have anything against it...just wondering.
You're the legs on the right. 24 is the number of theatres? And your husband did a very good job for Christmas. Props to him!
how fun are you?! i think it means 24 theatre rooms inside....? and might i add your living room/house is so adorible i love your choice of colors
Your face on #13 sort of freaked me out. :) I think it's the eyes. Your family truly is the master of faces, no doubt.
I'm glad you had a Very MERRY Christmas! So fun!
you are in the black flip flops. 24= the number of theaters, and you could never look like eezma. Never.
You would think it would mean 24 screens, but one could be wrong.
Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas.
24 screen.s
such great christmas loot from your man. your hair is beautiful, girl. and always perfect. i am jealous. and so glad you had a lovely Christmas!
your christmas looks like it was a total blast! :)
this is in now particular order, just how I am remembering your post in my head :)
--I think your legs are on the right...Sierras in the middle and your moms to the left? I could be totally wrong though!
--24 means 24 theaters..just a guess.
--I love your silky victoria secret pajamas (I'm assuming the light pink ones in the picture of you Sierra and your mom are them..if not theyre cuteee too!)
--Its sad that all the kids were playing games instead of opening presents. My little sister got a cell phone for christmas..A CELL PHONE! shes 11, what does she need a cell phone for? I didn't get one till last week. oh wait. I mean--when I turned 16 same thing right? it feels like last week.
--Your Edward sign is so dang cute! I love it! Where are you going to put it? I think I saw some like those online..maybe on Etsy or Ebay? props to ted because its way cute.
--I totally got the OC for christmas too! I have all of them and I'm currently working on getting my roomate addicted to the show by having OC marathons. woot.
--Your cookies look amazingly delcious! and as for teds, that is hilarious. Have you ever seen that friends episode about NESTLE cookies? if not you have to watch it. HILARIOUS.
Anyway. Enough rambling!
I'm so happy you had a good christmas..and new years too I hope!
I think it means 24 cinemas, too. The town I grew up in had a 'twin cinema'. I don't think I've ever seen one with 24 before.
I seriously thought the legs on the right looked too short to be yours, but was proven wrong by the following pic. The thongs had me wondering, though... :)
I always think of a million comments to make when I read your posts and forget them by the time I am done reading.
So I guess I'll go with, "Holy Christmas loot, Batman!" You scored big-time. I am crying over here because I want that Edward quote sign to bad. Crying.
Oh, and my guess is the number on the theater is how much in dollars you will pay for popcorn there.
It means the number of theaters in the complex. Ergo, AMC 24 means they have 24 theaters. Unless they are stereo then it's only 12.
Knot
Fun post--love the pictures.
In #10, I say you are in the middle--although I would think you would have on flip flops????
24 means 24 theaters ; )
I think it means the number of screens inside the theater. Never really thought about it before, sorry! Awesome pictures and I LOVE the way you wrapped your gifts. I'm big on decorating the gifts and it drives me nuts to see naked presents wrapped under a tree. I spend a great deal of time putting on the ribbon!! Awesome pics!
Your first married Christmas was WAY cooler than my first married Christmas 12 years ago!!! I'm with PRP, can you just adopt us all, cuz the Face family is pretty cool!
24 screens in the theatre . . . :) (I hope that you win the "discussion" that you and Ted are having about this!)
Anyways, I totally LOL'd at #5 . . . so foolish . . . in a good way of course! :)
And yay for all the loot you got from Ted for Christmas . . . those Twilight signs are some awesome . . . don't know that my dh would let me post anything like that here though! lol
As for the legs pic . . . from L-R:
Nancy/Mom Face, CC Face, LarLar Face
:)
Awesome Christmas pictures Lauren. I think you might just be the happiest family out there. (I really mean that...we can see the love)
Thanks for sharing!

You are the one in the middle.

Love sugar cookies.. Yum!
You are very naturally pretty.
That last one of Ty is the best fun face I have seen of him...
As usual.. loved the post!
24 is the number theaters in the theater, right? Or is that wrong?
Your legs are on the right with CiCi in the midde and your mom on my left.
I loved your recap. I have been too lazy to do my own. :)
Happy 2009!
too much to comment on
24 screens, right?
Duh....it means how many theaters are in the building....so easy! Do people not know that?! And you are like a obsessed 12 year old when it comes to Twilight! It cracks me up!
24 theaters?????
or they really like jack bauer
I saw 24 and immediately thought 24 hrs a day, but then I saw it was a movie theater so I changed my mind and figure that it means 24 screens?
Merry Belated Christmas! (and new years)
Loved "the christmas recap."
Scarves & flip-flops? cool!
Great presents! U R ♥'d
24? Hmmm... 24 hours of movies in each day? 24 peices of gum under each seat?
1. Love your tree.
2. Your mom is pretty cool.
3. I'm not THAT talented.
4. COOKIES?
5. Every time I've tried his secret recipe, it's a big FAIL!
6. Hey, can I have that sugar cookie recipe?
7. Scissors?
8. Little piggies = bacon = YUM!
9. Tree? WHAT tree? I don't see any tree.
10. Your legs are the ones covered in denim.
11. But the boys THINK they're cooler.
12. That's a good job, undershirt.
13. You got skillz!
14. Sa-weet picture! I bet your mom took it.

I think that Twilight sighn is awesomoe! I wish my husband would have gotten me something cool like that but im pretty sure he wouldn't let me hang it up. He is a Twilight hater! I know sad, what did I marry?
so much to say. lets see if i can fit it all in.
1. love your apron
2. wow you just made me want sugar cookies- those look so yummmmmm.
3. can you share your babe-ness with me? you are so freakin' fashion princess... ted is lucky to have such a babe as a wife... and you can tell him i said so.
4. i thought the middle was your legs at first and then i discovered differently from later pictures (k-thx scarf)- and that would mean that you and your mom both wear flip flops in December (wow how i miss mesa life)
5. i love thinking over Who's vs Whose... i do it often. and i wish i had the answer.
6. i love how you confessed you are wearing an undershirt. i never do... i like to show off my sexy boobies all the time!! :)
7. what the heck- why are you allowed to look hot in the MORNING? i mean, come on. at least look ugly in the morning. once again, Ted should count his blessings.
8. and SERIOUSLY? ted got you TWILIGHT QUOTED WOOD FOR YOUR HOUSE? oh my gosh- give him husband of the year award RIGHT NOW. right now.
9. he did dang good on the other gifts, too! wow.
10. proof the world is going down the toilet? HILARIOUS.
11. the poll? i say its because it has 24 theaters. but my other guess is that its the 24th location built? psh...
It means 24 different screens. And by the way, I have the exact same victoria's secret jammies that you were wearing on Christmas Day! Matchy matchy.
So twinner, I've never heard anyone else reference Eezma before! We are indeed MFEO. Sometimes I look like I have Eezma boobs, you know, when they are small triangles like halfway between where boobs should be and your belly button? Yeah, me + some swimsuits=Eezma boobs.
Ha. Shirley and I were just discussing this very thing. There are 24 screens in the theater.
What a great first Christmas! I loved all your pictures, and Ted came through big time with all the Twilight loot! Where on earth did he get the Twilight quote signs, I definitely need to get one of those!? LOVE THEM!!
i'm always late. *sigh* sorry, Lauren! *hangs head in remorse and shame* moving right along...
hey, don't feel bad about blogging about Christmas. i just put up my Christmassy photos on my blog, too. (yep, they're actually up, along with a whole lot of other crap! YAY!)
you are so unbelievably cute. why do i keep saying things like that, you ask? because you keep blogging about such awesome stuff in your awesome style with your awesome face, that's why. and until you stop it, i will continue calling you cute and adorable and amazin'. and IF you stop it, i will die. for reals. so... you might just have to put up with those annoying comments of mine if you don't want my death on your hands. *evil cackling laughter*
in other news, THAT'S A GOOD JOB, LAUREN and TED! your gifts from Ted were the bomb(especially all the Twilight stuff and the 50 bones to Forever 21 - heck to the yeah!). Ted's ipod from you was the bomb. your amazing 7-bone tree was the bomb. your matchy-matchy gifts were the bomb. the only thing that wasn't the bomb was the whole technological cousins thing... i experienced that this Christmas, too, and also nearly threw up in my mouth. *face of disgust* what is this world coming to?
i'm going to a 16-theatre tonight to see Twilight. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y. geez!
I just figured out what your blog post meant...The Christmas Recap backwards - very creative. It took me like 24 hours to think about it and then the lightbulb went on - yeah, I ain't so smrt.

Um that means that there are 24 screens in that theater! I am smartypants. :)
oh my life, I want that twilight signage. it's extra for cute. plus, I love that you coordinate your Christmas wrappings. It's the only acceptable way to do gifts.
ps.
um, super big day for me... I JUST NOTICED I AM ON YOUR BLOG LIST!!!!!!!
this is HUGE.
now if only i could celebrate with some golden spoon.srsly.
sierra has bangs now, they are so cute! And the signs you got for Christmas are amazing! I vote that AMC 24 means there are 24 different candy choices....jk it's probably 24 theaters.
It looks like you had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year, Lauren! :)
doesn't it mean 24 thrilling movie theatre screens? I hope so. But nice Christmasy post! I love the pjs and the world to the crapper post - I hate little video games like that. BOO. Especially when they are busy doing that instead of family opportune-time. how sad. your stockings are adorable! go momma face!
Yup I tagged you!
cute stuff you got! Your legs are the middle ones?
I totally know what the 24 means.
great cd.
First, I love the ornaments on your tree. 2nd, you're the cutest baker ever. 3rd, your legs are in the middle, right? 4th, you and Ted are masters of funny faces : ) 5th, Ted totally spoiled you for Christmas....major points for him. 6th, pic 22 is totally depressing and scary, and 7th, 24 means 24 theaters....yah, I used to work at a movie theater, surprisingly, it was really fun....'course, I had a lot of cute boy coworkers and I was single....lol.
Okay, weird story, and don't freak out. I had a dream that I met you in person, but you weren't you. You had this miserable, mousy, stringy hair, and your face was totally different, as in....well....not your normal beautiful face (I mean, not even the same person at all) ....and you had this notebook that you kept all your blog ideas in that was covered with these MAJOR DORKY stickers....like neon leopards and crud, and then you had these ridiculously nerdy pee-chees in the binder....so ugly, they seemed like a joke, but you liked them. Anyway, it was really weird, and all the Lauren sparkle was just gone. An impostor INVADED my dreams and pretended to be you!!! Like I said, don't freak out, dreams are always SUPER WEIRD. : ) I thought it was hilarious.
Those cookies look delish, especially since ive been on a horribly strick diet since middle of december. I love love love your red coat i basically wanna steal it! And im super super jealous of your twilight stuff. I used to work at that dreadful/wonderful place named AMC....that is all. Lovely work on the beautiful post!
Have I ever told you that I love your Blog? No? Well then......I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!! It's one of my most favorite things to read!
I called you and left a message but I do not think I said my name so... IT WAS ME!
I have heard that your blog was fun to read and that you are hilarious. Well they were right. I love all the pictures of all the faces. LOL!!!
I already have been reading your Twilight blog and I love it.
Cute pics! Glad you had a great Christmas! :)
I think that you have to be under 24 to go there?
also you are the legs in the flip flops. If someone already guessed that I did not read the comments above before guessing cuz I did not want to cheat.
I think you look so great without makeup.
Love ya girl
where did ted get your twilight signs?! i LOVE them! a friend of mine gave me a twilight lunch box for christmas. she bought the last one for me and she wanted one so bad that she searched online for one and the cheapest she could find it was on ebay for $56 because its so *rare*. needless to say i love my lunchbox and i probably would actually carry my lunch around it in!
i love your apron!!! & good job laurens mom with the stockings!!
hope you had a merry christmas!!!
I think it means there aare 24 different movie screens in that building?
I was looking for stockings to buy this year and they are freakin expensive! Now way Im pay $20-30 per stocking! Ill have to make my ownnow that i know how to use my sewing machine.
p.s. thanks so much for the congrats, were way excited!
