My Merry Little Christmas.

My mom created a scrapbook for each of her sisters, she has four of them. The scrapbook was filled with old photos of my grandmother and grandfather. Mostly it consisted of photos of my grandma. You see, my grandma (mamaw is what all of us grandkids call her) passed away about a year ago. Her passing was hard on everyone and still is to this day. My mom thought this would be a great gift and keepsake that could be kept in the family for years to come. It turned out perfect.

My papaw. Isn't he hansom? Except for the UK hat. He is a dire hard fan. I hate them. We butt heads when it comes to sports.

My baby cousin. She got this little toy, which I forget the name of it. It sort of reminds me of a Furby. You tell it to dance, it dances. You tell it to talk, it talks. She loved it, but after about 5 minutes of it on I was ready to take the batteries out. Below, sorry about the poor photo quality. I don't know what happened there, but this photo was too cute to pass up.

My cousins and I. We are all extremely close. Gosh have we all grown up, they are so gorgeous now. Can you believe I am the oldest and they are all taller than me? I am in heels, oh how I love how heels hide my vertical challenge.

She is graduating high school this year. Goodness I feel old.

My goodlookin' Papaw once again repping that UK hate. Yuck, I should've made him take it off.

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. Mine was fabulous. I had a great time seeing old friends, hanging out with my family and eating twice my body weight in food. By food I mean 80% cookies, fudge and candy and 20% actual food. Is this about the time to say I need to start my New Years resolution by purchasing a gym membership? Yeah, looking back at my imaginary food diary, I need that gym membership like a fat kid needs cake. Or like I need cake.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's A Wonderful Life. I could seriously watch that movie every day of my life if I chose to do so. It is such a classic that never gets old. It makes me realize the importance of the little things and to cherish them with all your heart. I am so blessed to have the people in my life that I do. My family is so great and we always share many laughs and tears, mostly laughs though. I am so entirely grateful for my friends, especially my bests. Without them in my life I don't know who I would be or where I would be in life. Words can not express the love I have for them all. Thank you for all of your support, love, friendship and everything else you have given me. I truly cherish every moment I have spent with you.

Have a Merry Christmas everybody! I hope it brings you an abundance of joy and happiness.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

I just love my awesome holiday socks and Merry Christmas booties. They make me one happy girl.

 

Dear Santa..I Mean Parents.

I hope that I didn't spoil the fun for you Santa believers out there. Honestly, if you ask me, there is a Santa Clause. But, who am I kidding, the news was broken to me years ago that mom and dad buy a vast majority of my gifts. Though, I still leave out milk and cookies (and reindeer food) just for his arrival. Here is my Christmas list! I have been an extra good girl this year. Some of the gifts are already taken care of thanks to Black Friday. Boy do I love that day! Since my birthday is so close to the holiday I tend to combine both my Christmas list and my birthday wishes. What are you hoping to get this year?

Perfect Banner For The Holidays

As I blogging (as always) I stumbled across Katie's Pencil Box where she posted the cutest Christmas lyric banner ever. She shared how she created her awesome wall art, which is perfect for the holidays. Check out her post about it, she is so creative! She also added a link to where you can download and print out the letters yourself. Thank you Katie, I love the idea!

Winding Down.

That's my little puppy Bow, well not so much puppy. That was taken the exact day we got her a year ago. I understand that she is technically still a puppy, but she is not longer a quite, small, puppy breath, baby anymore. Yeah, she is definitely not quite by any means, or small for that matter. We should change her name to Pork Chop or Chunk.

It is almost time for Christmas and I cannot cannot wait! For those of you Bah Humbuggers I am one of those people you hate during the holidays. Yes, I am guilty of listening to Christmas music all year round and I want to decorate my house/tree before Thanksgiving. I am a proud Christmas time lover. Now all I need is lots of snow. Some of my friends that go to school more up north than I got a some flurries today and to say the least, I am beyond jealous.
