Holiday fun

We've been busy with Christmas and visiting with friends and family.  My family came over to our house on Christmas eve and opened presents.  We ate lots of food too haha.  Everyone enjoyed their presents and Chris and I got some good stuff too!

We got my niece, Angel, a Pandora bracelet and she was totally surprised!  She's always liked mine but never thought she would get one.

I'm excited about helping her build it.  She's got a birthday coming up in April and she's already picking out beads that she wants.

We got my mom diamond earrings and she was amazed!  We had already taken her shopping for clothes and she thought that was all she was getting.  I think she almost cried.

I got the silver and gold star Pandora bead that I wanted to complete my bracelet and I got a beautiful Amethyst and diamond ring.

We went to Robby and Stacey's for Christmas day.  We ate tons of food and hung out with them and the kids.  They got me a coffee cup and a $50 gift card!  I'll be posting what I used it for in a few days.  I didn't want to load this post down with too many pictures.  They got Chris a knife that he's been wanting.  He loves it!

We enjoyed the holidays and have been working all this week.  People have been coming in and giving us their Christmas money!  I hope all of you had a great time too!  

New hair and a purple-nosed kitty

It's been a slow day at work for the most part.  We had some bad thunderstorms around lunch time, which set off the tornado sirens.  This town goes into panic mode when those go off.  It's understandable though, that F5 that rolled through in April was a bitch!  So I guess everyone has hunkered down and is getting ready for Christmas.

So I got my hair cut and dyed yesterday.  I went for the usual cut and dark purple (that looks black) and purple highlights.  I'm hoping the dark purple will lighten some but if it doesn't Loran (my wonderful hair lady) will just go a shade lighter next time.  It's hard to get a good pic of purple hair.  It seems blue in some photos.  I've got some for ya though.  I know how you people love pictures.

Well what do you think?  Sorry for the lack of makeup... maybe tomorrow hehe.  So now for the purple -nosed kitty.  That would be Malakai.  He sleeps on my head at night and likes to rub his face in my hair and neck.  Did I mention he's spoiled rotten?  Well this morning Chris brings to my attention his new dye job.  I guess he got a little too excited with the new hair.

Check out that awesome nose fade hahaha.  Sorry for the eye booger.  I would have got it for him if I had seen it before I took the picture.  He seemed to not be bothered by it so I guess it will wear off.

We are taking Zach to ATL tomorrow to meet up with his mom.  That way he can spend Christmas and all that fun stuff with them.  We'll probably stop by Skinworx on our way back and see Jen and James.  

The family is coming on Saturday and I'm excited about everyone getting their presents!  

Well that's all I got for now ... over and out :)

I Want Wednesday...

I guess if I'm going to be keeping this blog up I need to keep with my set patterns.

So my "I want Wednesday..." is the silver and gold star Pandora bead.  It's the last bead that I want for this bracelet.  I only have enough room for one more bead and maybe a spacer.  I've wanted this bead for quite awhile but it is one of the more expensive ones.  Hence the Christmas timing (hint hint Chris)  So here's a picture for your enjoyment!

So maybe I'll be getting this for Christmas and then I can start another Pandora bracelet!  I'm thinking of doing a Alabama football bracelet.  

Well you guys have a good night and I'll do my very best to keep this updated :)
