Christmas Eve at Home

Christmas Eve mom came over for our traditional Christmas movie. We decided to go with a short one this year, because it was late, and John and Jess convinced me we should open gifts on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning. So we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas, one of my favorites. It was funny because when Korissa was handing people their presents, she would say what they were when she handed them to us, we told her she's not suppose to tell...ha, ha.

Before our movie

Christmas wishes to Jackie and H

We haven't gotten together for the Holidays with my family for a few years, so Jennifer and I made sure to plan some family holiday time together.

I think there was a deep discussion, and some tv watching going on...ha, ha.

This Week

Man, I wanted to do a post every day in December, but wow, this week has flew by. Monday I went to Portland for visiting and shopping, and was gone all day. Then of course work this week, and a few shopping stops. Last night we decorated our tree, and a light strand went out, so will need to fix that. Haven't done a lot of picture taking of the things I've done this week, so here's another one of my random things in pictures.......

LOVE this line, and there's no icky ingredients.

My favorite soap.

I've been a horrible vegan the past few months, having too much dairy, and not only does it gross me out, my body hates it. So, going to re-eliminate this dairy binge for good!

Bag with Jessicas gift in it that I need to wrap....lol.

Yep, still smokin....not attempting a quit anytime soon.

"Ha Ha Grandma, I took a picture of your phone, and boobie....see grandma" (she points) Oh boy!!

D&O Christmas Party

We went to the annual D&O Christmas Party yesterday. We only stayed one night though, but this year it was at the Salishan Resort (Johns company pays for one night), and it was awesome. We stopped at the outlet stores in Lincoln City, and I scored an Old Navy scarf, and went to Maurices looking for a sweater (I LOVE that store).

We only had about a half hour to get ready for the party by the time we got to the resort. We did the gift exchange (I had a really cool holiday door mat, but Amanda took it, then I took a cute angel doll, and then amanda ended up taking that too....bummer), but it was all fun. I had a Long Island Ice Tea which made me feel pretty good...lol. Then we had a yummy dinner and dessert.

 After dinner we went to a lounge there called The Attic and I had some gross blue drink that I didn't finish. John was of course drinking Coors. After that we headed over to Rick and Amandas room for a while, then over to Grants and Katies room. John was having a high time...lol by this point. I was ready to call it a night by 12:30 AM, as I stopped drinking a looong time before that...ha, ha. We got up this morning, and after John took some advil, we headed for breakfast. We had a really nice time.

Last year in December, I took a trip to the coast by myself (something I always wanted to do), and stayed 2 nights. The first night I stopped and got me a box of chocolates (from Lifesource) and then when I arrived at the coast, I bought myself a card and a cute little stuffed bear. I put the card, bear and chocolates on the kitchen table in my room, and when I got up the next morning I opened up my gifts, to me, from me. It was pretty cool. Soooo, I am going to make it a thing, when we go to the coast for Christmas, I'm going to get me some chocolates and a cute little guy (stuffed that is).

Our room

My Cooper dog I got at Maurices for 6 bucks.
