What a Merry Christmas!

Well, I sure had a nice Christmas, as I hope everyone else did. A lot of traveling this year, but that's okay because it made it super special! On Saturday we drove 3 hours south to my parent's house, stayed the night, then drove another 3 hours south to my aunt's house to see my dad's side of the family.
My boyfriend and I have been going out for nearly 3 1/2 years and he's met my mom's side but not my dad's, so he came too and everyone absolutely loved him (bien sur!). We had a lovely time doing a gift exchange, opening presents, sitting and catching up with family. (I never get to go down south, so I had a lot of catching up to do!) Not to mention all the wonderful food!
We stayed the night there and had breakfast and stockings the next morning (Christmas day), and then we were off again on another 3 hour drive, north this time. We opened more presents at my parent's house and had more yummy food, then went to my bf's parent's house for yet more presents and more food.
Stayed the night there and spent the next day with them, I went to my best friend's birthday party at an awesome sushi restaurant, and then we were going to drive home but it was so late we decided to stay the night again. We eventually made the 3 hour drive north to home.

What a Christmas! My favorite things I got this year have to be:
1. My bf and dad got me a new laptop! Heck, I'm happy the keyboard is fully functional (the i, k, delete, and down arrow didn't work on my old one, hence the sporatic blogging), but it's got a top of the line graphics card and tons of cool features to boot. It's the nicest present anyone's ever given me!
2. My best friend gave me a pocky purse!!!
3. This stuffed scottie dog my mom gave me is inspiring me to make some like it for my shop, and she gave me a ton of awesome vintage goodies this year too!


Whew, what a year. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and be sure to have a Happy New Year!
