How was everyone’s Christmas? I spent mine at my parent’s house this year with a house FULL of people. My older sister just became a foster parent to THREE girls all under the age of two, so it was a mad house in here. On Christmas Eve, we put them all down at 7 o’clock, and enjoyed a regular Christmas tradition.

In my family, we gather in a circle and we take turns opening gifts. We do this because we all want to see the reaction everyone has when they open their gifts. It is the best part, right? I spend weeks getting my presents together for everyone and my favorite part of Christmas is watching them open what I gave them! I always try to put a lot of thought into each gift.

My gifts to my family:

Mom: Brahmin handbag

Brother in laws: Daniel Wellington Watches

Older Sister: LOFT/Lou & Grey clothes and a Mi Golondrina Night Gown

Younger Sister: Cape and a tee shirt that says ‘Fry Day’ with a picture of french fries on it (her last name is now Fry).

Dad: Slippers (he loved them)

My favorite gift given to me:

Way too hard. I got some really great Christmas decorations for next year, and all new bedding for home! I can’t wait to show you a photo of my new bedroom set up (I just have to actually get it set up first, ha)!

On Sunday we drove to Shreveport, LA and did some shopping and a little gambling ;). This has been a Christmas tradition! If you go shopping the week after Christmas you can find some really insane deals! I will try to get those clothes up for you asap! When I gamble, I like to play black jack or hit the slots! I am the kind of person who spends $40 and I am DONE! I like to find $5 black jack tables and sit there for five hours. I never end up making any money, but I have a lot of fun!
