Beautiful is an understatement!!!

Eric and I did a little shopping today!!! He wanted to go to the mall and of course I said "okay," hello, what girl doesn't like going shopping...there were great deals everywhere, including Kay Jewelers. Eric decided to get my 13th anniversary present a little early this year. It is a whopping 1.5 carats. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe how beautiful it is, this picture does it an injustice. I am such a lucky girl, with a wonderful man who loves me so much! I thought that my Christmas was great but great just got a whole lot better, I couldn't have asked for more, they told us there at the store that we were the perfect commercial, such a wonderful couple, in love. Well I hope that all of you out there had a good experience shopping the day after Christmas sales, we sure did, we also visited TjMaxx and Dillards, and I got some really awesome deals on clothes for work. Anyway hugs and kisses to you all, and hello to all of my new blogging friends!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

We have had a wonderful Christmas, I hope yours was as wonderful! Eric and I exchanged our ornaments, Eric gave me a lenox "star of Bethlehem" and I gave him "my heart"...So cute huh...anyways we had a wonderful morning (starting at 0530 this morning...early) then we ate a not so traditional dinner at 3:30. We had steaks and Alaskan snow crab with sides, it was absolutely yummy! My big Christmas present this year was a necklace with a beautiful heart locket, and a new belly dancing video with some new belly dancing outfits, and some new Givenchy perfume (Simply irrisitable) and lots of goodies from Bath and Body Works...smells so awesome. I gave Eric a new leather motorcycle jacket and lots of neato clothes and a new wallet, and the girls received a Wii and lots of games, Guitar hero with dual guitars, an Ipod, and lots of other goodies, too many to mention...they will be busy for some time! Here are some pictures from my day... I love and miss all my family!!! Wish I could have been with you all today! I miss all my friends I wasn't with today!

I almost forgot the cookies...

Aren't they just lovely!!! Such decorative cookies, I just love them. I can't believe that I forgot to put them in the previous post, anyway, as you notice the pictures below, some of them are from thanksgiving (the top two) and some current (the bottom two), well Happy Holidays!

Christmas time is my favorite time of the year!!!

Here is a picture of the family...






Today we have had a wonderful time making cookies. We have made M&M and Reeses cup cookies, M&M cookies only, Andes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies, and sugar cookie cut outs! Fun, Fun, Fun! I also took a picture of the tree and presents before tomorrow, because before I know it, it is all gone...the girls are going to open up two presents tonight, there pajamas (of course) and one other...I have been suckered by Eric to let them open up one additional present. Well I hope that everyone reading this has a WONDERFUL Chirstmas!!!

2 days left, where did the time go?

Well today was a fun day, Eric unfortunately had to go to work this morning at 4:00 AM, and hannah and I slept in (Alyssah is at her grandmother's ~ Kay)...My friend, whom I dearly love, Cindy, call me at 9 and her and I went shopping this morning, we had a wonderful time. I came home around 12:30 or so and wrapped some more presents, then I decided since it was just Hannah and I, We should do something nice together...So we went to eric's work and picked up his ham that his work gave us and then we went to Red Lobster for dinner...we had a wonderful time, Hannah had adult snow crab and I had the Admiral's feast...yummy! Anyway, We had a great day and Eric just got home and I am outta here, have a wonderful day...
Oh and by the way I stumbled upon this picture...this would just be aweful...poor little boy, that would be a nightmare wouldn't it...

Here we are at the begining...lots more to come

Hello!

This is the very first time that I have posted on this blog and I think that it will be really neat! My mother Donna has a blog on here, adventures with Tassie, and I thought that I it is really neat, anyway, I can't believe that this year is pretty much over, whew, where did the year go? I am a nursing student and taking a little break right now...enjoying my family so much. I wish I could be with ALL my family but that will have to wait. My girls are home for winter break until January 2nd and I have all kinds of things I want us to do...I want to go looking at Christmas lights, I would love to bake some Christmas cookies, and maybe even get a little bit organized before we all return to our busy crazy schedules. Well to the two people who are reading this right now, I love you, and I miss you!!!
