Happy Christmas

look what santa brought!

thanks parentals and santa for the great gifts

it was a successful year I'd say

Later we went to Aunt Diane's house for lunch

We were short on children for the nativity so I saved the day and was 

one of the 3 wise men

2 out of the 3 wise men 

seeking the star

{the other wise man was afraid of us I think} 

just a little gift giving dance

we are so {wise}

once again we just have too much fun sometimes 

but hey when you are given are role you just gotta go for it!

Me. Tiffany.

Mason. Me. Tiffany. Austin. Grandma.

Christmas PJ's

first off, I finally met liberty mae when i came down for this visit. isn't she a doll! ah so cute.

after dinner we opened our pj's from grandpa passey and another pair from my mommy

Kallie and I kept sneaking the cookie dough

 while mommy (lindsey) wasn't looking ;)

The PJ's from Grandpa

My favorite pair probably so far! Great work G-PA!

This is the jammies from mom

SO CUTE! 

I struck gold with the pj's this year

and me and the mother have matching red velvet jammies now :)

Christmas Eve Dinner

Merry Christmas Eve Dinner

We spent christmas eve at Lou's place 

i had so much fun! I love my sisters/mom/brothers/grandma

i always am laughing til i cry when i get to come home. 

as you can see we had a little too much fun with

the martinelli's

{seriously you guys have no idea how much fun we had with that stuff}

and i made this christmas feast all by myself!

{ok lies i just put it in for amy to reheat, but we can pretend right}

me and tiff under this winter wonderland

* Walking in a Winterwonderland *

warning: studying for 3 hours straight will

cause loopiness to occur

also it snowed on saturday.
There is just something so magical about snow
it makes all that cold worth it!

Black Friday

I joined Krista and her friends to enter the madness of Black Friday.

But we decided to take it a step further and pull an all nighter.

I broke my own rules and drank a red bull for the occassion,

but i couldn't even finish it cuz it was

kinda nasty {no sugar}

and it didn't even work! but the dance party in the car did the trick

{The pictures are going backwards but you get the idea}

This is the group at Denny's around 3:30 a.m.

This is me seriously regretting my decision.

I was so tired!!!

I have to admit even though we didn't get back til around 11 a.m.

I fell asleep in the car around 7.

I can say I did an all nighter and it was fun but dang did we reap the consequences afterwards.

Yes that says 2:30

i walked out my door wednesday morning and had to run back in
