Photo Dump || December

 

hello lovelies! 

I hope you all had a marvelous Christmas, celebrating the birth of our Lord. <3 
My life has been so busy it seems. With Christmas, and New Years coming, lots of things are going on. *winks* All of last week I didn't do school, and I won't have school until next year. *wink wink* 

Life has been pretty good. The first week in December my mom allowed me to drive Escape (though she had to be with) and we went and got coffee before picking up Felicity and Kate for the day. 
Let me tell you. That rig feels so fancy! *laughs* It's the nicest rig we've ever owned. 

We decided to do Christmas cards this year and I wrote out allllllll the envelopes and sealed them. It was a lot of work and I did end up getting carpel tunnel in my right hand and had to wear a brace for awhile but it's all fine now. 

Spent the night at Damara's and we watched, "An Avonlea Christmas" #thebestandsadestmovieever

Went to a Christmas tree lighting... though I didn't end up making it to the actual lighting. Got there in a round about way, once it was already lit but got to see some neat things. Let's just say it was an "adventure" for sure. 

Spent time with Kate. My niece is absolutely the most adorable thing ever. She talks waaaaaay more now and loves her "Ganpa", "Ganma", and "Guncle" *melts* Still hasn't figured out how to say auntie but I'm working on it. *winks* 

Did a lot of Christmas baking! Tried something new this year too. None of us like frosting so we decided to paint our sugar cookie cutouts with food coloring. *winks* Clever, I know.

Did a couple of puzzles, drew, painted, and such. 

Made my mom's mocha truffles for the first time!! It was actually a lot of fun but also a lot of wrist work. Which also led to my carpel tunnel. *laughs* 

Driving has become more and more like it's always been there. I absolutely enjoy it and can't wait for March. *winks* Me and Damara have plans. *wink wink*

One night me and Daminika decided it would be fun to sleep by the Christmas tree so we each made cozy beds on the couch and love seat. (Daminika got the love seat but said it was actually pretty comfortable) It was super cozy. We didn't even really talk to each other. Just did our evening routine and then went to bed. But it was super cozy. 

Me, Damara, and Danielle wrapped gifts for our grandparents again. This was our third year doing it, and it's a lot of fun! (since there are sooooo many grandkids, after a certain age, you no longer get gifts so that's why we are able to wrap them xD) PLUS! I drove myself there and it was such a blast! I don't know about you guys but I absolutely loooooove driving alone! 

Lots of Christmas movies, and episodes were watched. #allthechristmasfeels

Had our big family Christmas! It was a little different I'll admit, but it was still a lot of fun. Since my grandparents moved, they're living in a trailer\shop so it was a little different. But where there's love, there's happiness. <3

Me and Damara had a little Christmas party\sleepover. We went to town, grabbed some snacks, and then brought all our goodies home, where we ate them, opened gifts for each other, and watched a good ol' black and white Christmas movie. <3 It was a ton of fun. 

Christmas happened! Christmas Eve, and day was sooooo much fun! I loved both days and they were filled with such happiness. I took quite a few pictures of Kate so beware. *laughs* 

The day after Christmas, me, LaKaysha, and Daminika all ran to town just because and we ended up buying some cute vintage clothes. I found a super cute skirt and I looooove it! It was a really fun day, plus I got to wear my new shirt and shoes. *winks*

Then, last Sunday we were all invited to Felicity and Josiah's so there are a lot more pictures of Kate, and her cousins. *laughs* *winks*

Now, be warned, TONS OF PICTURES COMING YOUR WAY! *laughs* Enjoy!

This cutie loves getting rides on Theodore <3

Someone once asked me what my natural hair looked like so I took this picture. 

So if you're the one that asked me, this picture is for you. *winks*

When it's so cold in your room where the heat doesn't reach, you have to 

come and warm up after making your bed. xD 

These kiddos are getting so big!! 

Riding around with the Bro can be the best of times. <3

Me and Chancy went and drove by our old house... man I miss that place. <3

My phone was dying so this was the only pic I got. 

Auntie promoting me on Instagram *laughs* 

*dies* This kid <3

Felicity's cute apartment. 

This drawing took me a loooong time to finish, but I finally did it! 

Bored one day so I thought I'd scare my auntie xD

Oh our tree was so green once! *laughs* 

Someone was excited that Grandpa was home from work!

Finished it! (I did most of it, with some help from Daminika xP)

Blended, peppermint Italian soda, with coconut milk. *licks lips* 

I was scrolling my messages and found this. *laughs*

This was actually a lot of fun. <3 

All ready to go wrap presents!

Someone has been super snuggly these days. <3

I just love this picture for some reason. *laughs*

And then I just took a picture of Chancy's because he was clever and put

smoke coming out of the chimney. xD

*all the cozy Christmas feels*

Stocking finds!

Christmas Day!

This was soooooooooooo good!!

*laughs* It always looks like this when people are taking pictures of Kate. xD

Gah! She was so cute! (still is xP)

All my gifts! I did a post about them, HERE

Ready to go to town with the sisters! 

(I looooove my boots and shirt!)

Eeeek! My new skirt!

Me and Damara took Kate, Matthew, and Joshua outside to look at the cows. 

They were so intrigued it was adorable. <3

Whew! I hope you made it to the bottom! That was a lot of pictures! Anyways, I hope you have a great rest of your day and may God continue to bless you! <3
