happy holidays to you

Okay this is going to be short and sweet (maybe not because I have millions of photos) but that’s okay because I’ve been reading far too many Christmas recaps but of course this is my blog so here we go here’s my recap of this past weekend. 

 

Christmas Eve my Uncle Ronnie had us over for dinner which then turned into a full on ping pong tournament.  It’s the Chinese in me I tell ya, my honey was just not into it he wasn’t born with the ping pong gene.

Standard leaving the house photo of me and my honey

Full after a semi home made meal by Jackie my Uncles Girlfriend.

 

Ping Pong Rally On! Shit got intense.. Some major smashes went down.

 

Me and my Matty he’s one of my favorite “little” cousins.  He’s studying to be a dentist!

 

Me and my brother! Johnny man! I like to call his hair the Beiber it has a mind of it’s own.

 

The immediate cousins, Johnny, Justin, Jenny and Matty (wow I just referred to myself as Jenny that’s been awhile)

 

The whole gang after some intense ping pong games and bear our Chow Chow.

 

Saturday morning, instead of sleeping in which has become my new pattern on the weekends I woke up bright and early to see what Santa brought!

The dogs were excited they knew something was in those wrapping papers for them.  Look at how anxious they are.. We gave them new Kong Balls.  Kong Extreme for little Jaws of Life over there.

 

Drake being a sweet heart knowing he’s not suppose to rip into things held his nice and safe..

 

Harley on the other hand.. We have issues with this one.  Obviously they are not from the same crazy family.

 

Drake still concerned about his kong.  We finally had to unwrap it for him.  Then we stuffed them with peanut butter for a morning treat.

 

Give me the peanut butter and no one gets hurt.

 

Please give me and kong balls!

 

Time for presents.. Me and my fabulously wrapped and addressed boxes by my honey.

 

I got a KINDLE!

 

I’m stoked clearly! But it wasn’t that big of a surprise.. He didn’t think about having it shipped some where else while he was out of town so I got the package from Amazon while he wasn’t home lol.   But he did tell me that it was damaged and I believed him but low and behold it was here! I’ve been reading like a maniac!

 

Honey opening his gifts!

 

Drake pretty stoked I would say so..

 

I think my boyfriend should become a professional gift wrapper? Don’t you think so too??

 

His work boots from Cabella’s that were backordered till February but I ordered them from the Reno store.. Smart Cookie I am.

 

Holy double chin.. Lay off the cookies Jenn… I got my Northface Denali Jacket that I’ve literally been wanting for about 10 years now.

 

He got a wallet and I put a photo of the boys inside.

 

Spin Shoes! Whoooo hoo! Already used them twice!

 

And finally the new driver he’s been wanting!

 

We were happy campers!

 

 

Then we got ready and made the rounds.  First over to my mom’s house for my favorite holiday meal!

Me and Snowball, Santa’s Little Helper!

She usually hates outfits but loved this one, apparently my mom has even let her sleep in it.

New fuzzy socks! Perfect in time for Tahoe on Thursday!

Yaaa Fuzzy Socks!!

Observing my mom’s amazing wrapping, can’t find a single tape piece anywhere on that bad boy.

Whooo hooo Serving Trays! We definitely needed these!

My Uncle Chuck has lost his mind.  Apparently he thinks I’m the type of girl who wears sequins and rhinestones and most importantly Ed Hardy.  Um ya no.. Pretty but I don’t think I’ll be sporting a tiger on my back lol. 

My mom is having surgery next week, so we skipped the big decorations so she put up this little Christmas tree instead.  Notice the sketch on the wall? That’s me when I was 8.

Standard Fireplace Photos!

Me and Brother

This is pretty standard, Johnny fixing his hair, me picking my eyelashes.

 

Me, Brother and Mommy! :) xoxo

 

Then we headed over to my honey’s mom’s house and had presents and dinner there.  Where I got a SNUGGIE! OMGEEEEE yesterday I was at home on the couch, in my new robe, snuggie and reading on my Kindle I was in heaven! I’ve wanted a Snuggie forever!

 

Here’s my honey, his brother and his other HUGE brother.  Half siblings, and they are all his younger brothers by about 8 years apart. 

 

And finally here’s our Holiday card.. I am totally late but, better late than never! It’s our first one and I threw it together but I’ve now made some rules for our photos. 

A) Put the beer/cocktail down honey

B) Sunglasses off

C) Stop with the weird faces

 

During any photo moment if I can’t have all three of the above then were doomed for the next years photographs and or any frame able photos for the house.
