What I got for Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! This time of the year is so special and I feel so very blessed to spend the holidays with my family and friends that are close by. Although, I do miss seeing everyone in my family; like my grandma, uncles and aunts, cousins, and nephews & nieces. I got so many great gifts from family and friends :) I got a chance to use them this week and each one is as awesome as the next. 


Our beautiful Christmas tree with all the trimmings and presents under it! 

 

Awesome Batman shirt from my lovely little sister. She knew that my old bats shirt received too much love and it was time for a new one. Mom and Dad got me a New Year's champagne glass sweater. I glanced at it at the store andI guess they saw my "oh I'd like that" smile and got it when I was looking around elsewhere. They know me so well. In the words of mah bestie, "It's a Star Wars kind of year." How did he know I needed a new Star Wars shirt, I don't know but he got it for me. The force is strong! :)


So, Funko Pop makes characters from movies and shows into adorable bobble heads/figures and I happen to have a few of them already. I foresee my collection growing but I will try not to get too carried away...who am I kidding. I have to have the Star Wars Pop collection. R2-D2 and BB8 for the win! Now, Chewie has a new friend, Poe Damaron, and a rather small TIE fighter from mah bestie.



So, my uncle asked me what I would like for Christmas and I said I really need a watch. He asked me some of my favorite watch brands and I did. The first one that popped into my head were the Daniel Wellington watches and then I said pretty much anything else that isn't too big, like Micheal Kors big.    Much to my surprise he went with the Daniel Wellington Sheffield watch with the black wristband. It's beautiful!


Stocking goodies included a dual bite lipstick set, scarlet and mulberry, and the Benefit Porefessional primer. I so wanted to give these try and now I can. Yahoo!


Chocolates are a must for the holiday season and I snagged this picture before sister and I ate everything. We have Lindt Lindor truffles from mah bestie :] and Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates from a coworker. (oh and I'm not bragging just very blessed and thankful)

Friday already?

Well, Thanksgiving is just three days away. Where has the time gone?? Truth be told, I am glad that tomorrow is my Friday and hopefully for many of you too. Thank you work! oh and I'm so very thankful for the many blessings I have. Like getting together with family and friends, turkey (gobble, gobble), stretchy pants (have to make room for pie and ice cream), football/movie and a nap or two. Oh, I can't wait for Thursday and all the food goodness!

We have gone through a lot this year. Everyone has ups and downs but it takes a lot of strength to get back up even in our lowest point. & we did it! We have a lot to be thankful for and don't want to waste a single second not appreciating it. So, here are a few things that I am thankful for: my nerdy family, friends near and far, pets that I have now and in the past, and so much more but that can happen another day.

What are you thankful for?

...Keep on the lookout for a Thanksgiving dessert recipe or two!
