Recap: Christmas

Christmas Eve: Justin and I party hopped once again. We started off by opening some gifts at Justin's Grandparent's house. His sweet grandparents gave me this great fuchsia cardigan. It's so soft and I love it. I wore it all day today. It's so versatile that I wore it to church, in the snow, and then to Christmas dinner tonight. Later that night, we went to one of Justin's cousin's house for a party and then my friend Suryia's families Christmas Eve party. After that, he and I came back to my parent's house where I drank Prosseco with my Momma and Andrea and I iced some sugar cookies, one of our traditions. 

Christmas Morning: Andrea and I woke up and unwrapped all of our gifts under the tree. I must have been a very good girl this year because I sure did luck up! Early, I was gifted Photoshop. Along with that, I received a great flash for my camera, a tripod, a great photography book, a beautiful black coat, and a few other things. Those are just what really excited me! I was so excited that I had to try out my new goodies, that very moment! So here's the end result. Yes, a very Merry Pajamas Christmas morning, complete with glasses and bedhead! 

Check out Andrea's face! Hah!

Cheesing!

Our Christmas celebration went a little bit like this for the remainder of the day: 

Bubbly &

Prime Rib!

Absolutely loving this book!

Who doesn't love a good scratch off?

Remember the perfume post? I decided to ask for Kate Spade's "Twirl" and I love love love the way it smells! It's so sweet and girly. 
After a delicious dinner, and a long nap, Andrea and I went to see the lights at the nature trail in town. We had such a great time and the weather was very chilly with rumors of snow in the morning.


The Day After Christmas: Surely enough, I woke up to a chilly rain outside. We went to church and came home to flurries outside our window and not the kind of Flurry you find at McDonalds. Oh my goodness, snow is not a normal thing around here, especially during the holidays! So it may not look like much snow to you, but it was so exciting for us! 

Obviously we're a little not used to the snow clothes!

Lots of hot chocolate.

SO EXCITED!

Mini Snowman

So it's official! We had snow twice in the year 2010! (Once in February as well.) So not normal for us here! 
Later on this evening, we had another Christmas dinner at my Grandmother on my Dad's side of the family. While we were there, I found out that my Grandpa's goat's are having babies very very soon! I can't wait! Dinner was great but I know one thing, I've never felt like I've eaten as much as I have in this past weekend! So Andrea and I came home and played Just Dance 2 for over 2 hours! I'm exhausted! 


Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Can't wait to read all about each and every one of y'all Christmas stories! 
X's & O's! 

What Day of the Week Is It?

With all of this Christmas vacation, I keep loosing track of what day of the week it is & I like it! 

Mom and I just got back from fighting off crazy ladies & gents at Publix to get some last minute grocery shopping done. We got lots of bubbly :) I'm so excited! Not to mention, I loved being around all of the cheery people. Everyone was saying "Happy Christmas" and such. So I guess they weren't all that crazy! My most favorite part was this sweet old man bagging the groceries. 

He went to bag up some of the beer we bought and he said this to me:

Man: "You know that as the bag boy, I have to let you know that there is something wrong with this beer."

Me: "Oh really?"

Man: "Yes, and as your bag boy I must try it to let you know how it tastes!"

Me: "Well here, open up your pocket! The mountains are even still blue! Go find a closet and drink up!"

Hehe, I think he was flirting with me! He was so sweet. 

I sure am enjoying this break. I know that next week is going to be super busy so I'm truly soaking up all of this free time while it lasts. I have 2 back to back photoshoots next week and I go back to work :( but that's okay! 

Last night, Justin and I went to see the lights at James Island! We had such a great time! It's like our little tradition. Each year, we go to dinner and then drive through the park. This year, for the first time, we got out and walked through all the fun things they had. There was Santa's Gift Shoppe, a place to roast marshmallows, A Winter Wonderland, and so much more. It was tons of fun. 

Enjoy some of our fun pictures! 

Got to ♥ The Pig!

Reminded me of Jenna from A Little Blue!

To all of my sweet firemen

Lover boy :)

Since we don't have snow, we sculpt sand!

Weight Watchers advertisement hehe!

We had such a great time this year! I can't wait to see what next year holds for us! 

I can't believe tomorrow is already Christmas Eve! 

Hope y'all have a splendid holiday! 

And thank you for your kind words on my last post! 

X's & O's!
