Christmas Day!

Then it came! Christmas Day! And what a wonderful day it was. We got to see a pretty good handful of family in three stops. First "stop", stockings and gifts at home with Momma, Seestor, Q, and the kitties. Everyone received fun gifts, beautiful gifts, useful gifts, and surprise gifts. Such a nice morning and very glad to be home for Christmas. :)

Second stop, the aunt and uncle's house, the one with the amazing backsplash that I had mentioned before and never got a photo of, well friends, I got one!

Ok so it's not the best photo, but I really like this backsplash.
It's so pretty in person.



Necklace from India. From Me to Seestor. Pretty sweet lighting.
Guess how.....give up? It was the refrigerator!


New dress cape from Momma. How cool?! I got a cape! Thank you!
Christmas outfit! New cardigan from Seestor (Thank you! I love it!) and new
tights from Momma (Super comfy, thank you!). Black Friday boots and Wal-Mart Skirt.

Third stop, Christmas dinner at Q's family's house. It was a delicious meal and a fun evening. Nephew was there. And for the first time, I was referred to as Auntie. That felt so good I nearly cried. I'm an Auntie! Now I have to work on being super cool, or just cool. Nephew said I had goofy glasses and he was very encouraging when we played Super Mario. He said, "You're doing really good" when I really wasn't. He went back to the beginning of the game so I could play with him. He is clearly better at Super Mario on the Wii than I am. I'm good at that game but on Super Nintendo. Old school. 

The English family's tree.

Q chose well. This gift was a huge hit.....with everyone. We all wore it or tried to wear it. 

Mum as Ironman. IronMum. Q was thrilled, this was a moment to behold.

This moment melts my heart. I love you Q.

Cool Uncle Q.

The story of this shot is: Nephew got a pirate ship which Q and I
happily put together for him. Once it was whole, I had to take a test shot with
our new camera. Me future Mum and Dad got Q and I a fancy dancy camera.
Totally unexpected. Thank you!

All in all, a great Christmas, wonderful gifts, warm hugs and good food. Many laughs and smiles, and best of all, I gained on official title: Auntie.



Happy Holidays friends!
