Christmas Wish List

I thought I would help Mr. out and just go ahead and tell him what I want for Christmas. I dream big.

1 - $178 | 2 - $148 | 3 - $150| 4 - $68 | 5  -$298 | 6 - $38 | 7 - $340| 8 - $139 | 9 - $99

I dream big, most of what I want is in the higher price range...but I'm okay with that, hehe. I have no need for jackets, let alone two new jackets, but hey a girl can dream can't she? You know what? I'll just take any of Olivia Pope's jackets, yep that will do. Then I might have a reason to go to cold weather places, I need to to use my jackets, totally reasonable right?

In all reality, I told Mr. I wanted a leather jacket for Christmas, my current leather jacket I got in 1995, yes it's almost 20 years old and the sleeves are looking...vintage. I think I deserve a new one right?

 

Who doesn't like a good Olivia Pope jacket? I'm sure that show has created a ton of sales for the jacket industry. So they can go ahead and thank her being pregnant and needing to hide that fact on the show with awesome jackets.

I want a new snowboarding jacket. When we first started snowboarding I pretty much just bought the cheapest thing out there, it's baby blue. I'm ready to start looking like a girl when going down the slopes. I love that this jacket is 3 in 1. I have that style already and love that I can take out the fleece lining if it's getting warm out.

 

After seeing Shauncey wear her red jeans, I needed to have a pair. I don't like the Old Navy ones, they are a little too thin for my liking...but one day..I'll find a pair.

 

I have been using the same purse for over a year now, it's time.

Love comfy cozy scarves. Who wouldn't want this?

These are the perfect neutral pump. I've been looking for a pair, and I think this is it. Anyone want to donate money to the cause?

Love the lace detail on the sleeve. Great LBD for any season.

I've heard these work amazingly well. I want to try one out and see if I can help my skin feel a little better, especially since I've been wearing make-up a lot more lately. It feels like my skin needs some TLC.

What's on your Christmas list this year? Any must haves that I need to add? 

Have you been naughty or nice?

Surprise!!!

Remember on Friday how I told you I was making all of those "poofs"? Well it was for my sister and the surprise party my mom and I planned for her. This is a picture of how many I made. Guess what I made?

Okay you don't have to wait long for the answer, I made them into flower arrangements!

The party was actually at my Aunt and Uncle's house, so on Friday after work my Mom picked me up and we went to decorate. I think the decorations came out pretty great, too bad I forgot to take pictures of all of it. DOH! We decided to hire a taco man for the food, so we just ran with that theme. Plus it's a long time joke that my sister always says she's Latin (p.s. she's the whitest, as she says, ghost like girl you can meet)

I'll post more pictures of the party tomorrow.

Saturday was pretty low key until we had to go to the party. Baby Fox and I went and got some balloons and another fiesta banner, can never have too many of these. These made the party. Well that and my flower arrangements of course.

The balloons barely fit in the car. Baby Fox did not want his picture taken. I can't see you, you can't see me right?

While waiting for party time, Mini Fox really really wanted to get up on the chair. Girl has determination.

Made it Mommy!

And then I took her off the chair and put her here, and she threw herself on the ground. Dramatic much? So I took her picture instead. Yep see that foot back there, she was actually kicking and crying. Where do they learn these things?!

We had some last minute things to set up outside, that we couldn't do the day before. But we were ready 30 minutes before guests started arriving...win in my book. Usually we're still setting up before guests arrive, I think having a party at someone else's house gets stuff done faster and more efficent...hmm...

 Me and the birthday girl

See that lipstick? I got that from my November Ipsy bag, LOVE it and the color. I might have to go buy it.

 Taco man was a HUGE hit. If you're in the Los Angeles area, I have a taco guy, it's awesome and worth EVERY PENNY!

Yep taco man provided everything seen, we had to do NOTHING. Okay that drink there at the bottom right, we provided that, haha. But he provided all of the condiments, chips, beans, rice and 4 different kinds of meat.

 The party goers

When you can't find Mr. it's probably because he's playing with the kids. Yep Mr. against 5 boys, a girl and Mini Fox. Although the latter two aren't in the picture. Mr. says he was really "winning" he was just letting the boys think they were winning, haha.

This picture doesn't really convey how crazy all the boys and Mr. really were.

 Like the kids needed more reason to go crazy, we did a pinata. It was a hit.

Mr. picked out and got Mini Fox ready, he did a pretty good job. He said that she had 4 different outfits on and that he was having trouble finding bottoms to go with a top. He complained that none of her bottoms go with her tops. Guess we'll have to guy some more :)

 Selfie...I think I might have perfected the selfie. This is the first try, with a real camera I might had, so I really couldn't see what picture I was taking.

We spent the night at my Aunt and Uncle's and Sunday morning we went out to breakfast. Do you think Mini Fox liked her breakfast?

Usually we don't let her go wild with the food, but we had been sitting there for a while, and she was STARVING, and well, it was just cute.

After we got home the kids wanted to blow off some steam, so I took them to the park.

After naptime I took the kids to my parents for dinner. Mr. stayed behind to get some work done. Baby Fox really wanted to help my sister open her gifts.

All done!

 

Yep that's avocado up her nose

 Time for some pudding, don't worry it's sugar free, and she only got a few more bites after this.

Then Baby Fox got the rest...and of course everyone sits like this while eating pudding right?

And to end the night, we let Baby Fox watch one episode of Little Einsteins...him and my sister are "blasting off"

If you don't know Little Einsteins, look it up. It's one of my favorite shows for Baby Fox. It's educational, the whole episode is based around classical music, it's interactive and Baby Fox absolutely loves it. And let's face it, we're watching it most of the time too, and this one is one I actually enjoy watching with him.

That was our fun weekend! I won't mention that my sister is trying to pass kidney stones and we weren't sure if the party was even going to happen. She's a trooper, this is the third time she's gotten them, at least she knows what to expect...let's pray they pass quickly. She's passed some of them on Thursday night, but still had some more to go. Insert sad face here.

Friday Favorites #10

Yay it's Friday! Tomorrow I'm throwing a "surprise" birthday party for my sister. I put surprise in quotes because it was a surprise. But then she had to be all difficult and cancel the plans we had to get her to the party, so I ended up telling her so that she would go. Oh well, it's the thought that counts right? But here are some things I'm happy about.

1

This jacket. I bought it back during the Spring Style Me Challenge, but never got to wear it because it was hot, and then summer came and it got even hotter. And now that the temps have cooled a bit, down to the low 70's, woo hoo! I felt it totally appropriate to pile on the layers. I love this jacket and you might see it more then once in the coming months. 

2

This guy makes me heart stop. He always wants to cuddle and watch tv. So after work I cuddled him for a bit. I think I need to make my case for an upgrade to my phone. If for anything to get better selfies.

3

We pulled this out the other day, I thought I had sold it, but nope, there it was in the garage. She thinks she's hot stuff riding around on it.

Her "cheese" face

For the party, I've made about 50 of these guys...I can't wait to show you guys how we use 50 poofs (as Mr. Calls them). He said, you know every time I see you have a different poof in your hands, bathing the kids, making dinner, you always have one. Well yes Mr. making 50 of things in 3 days will make a person do that :)

And what would a Friday Favorite be without a video, This one...hilarious, people have way too much time on their hands, enough said, just watch it.





Have a great weekend! Doing anything fun?
