Tea Party for 80...

Hello! Happy Saturday to you! Hope you all have enjoyed your day! I got a 2 hour massage at Massage Envy felt amazing! I added the aroma therapy to it with the smell of Rosemary and Mint.... Fabulous! Although when I got home, Kris told me I smelled like a grandpa.... Boys.... Anyway, I wanted to tell you and show you how the tea party for Deema turned out yesterday!!!! 

My mom out did herself like always everything was just beautiful! the colors of the day were lime green and pink. I ended up matching the decor :) My mom, sister, and I wore maxi dresses and our big sun hats. Deema was so thrilled to have "her girls" together for a little lunch for her. 

Even Deema wore a fancy hat....

The menu consisted of..... Sweet Tea, ham biscuts, watermelon, and two different kinds of pasta salad. 

Sugar also attended she is Bichon that will be 16 the end of this month

I wore a maxi dress and hat from Walmart, a bubble necklace from Rue 21, and a belt from Avon

I liked wearing the hat so much I kept it on after lunch while I soaked up the sun!

 Yesterday was such a sweet treat for all of us and I am so glad I got to be a part of it. My week off with my family was wonderful! I think now I am ready to start counting down for the cruise!

Elf On The Shelf!!!

I love being a teacher especially during the holiday seasons. I was lucky enough to be in a Classroom this year and enjoy the Elf On The Shelf along with the kids. I came up with a few ideas but The lead teacher in my classroom took care of the rest.

The Elf On The Shelf will totally be something I will want to do with my kids and I know my parents would have had so much fun with that when my sister and I were kids.

If you don't know the story behind The Elf On The Shelf... Visit Elf On The Shelf

Here are a few pictures of the Elf that visited my classroom Jingles! Enjoy!!

Happy Holidays!

Stay in and cuddle

Well we might not being doing all that but close to it! Staying in having lasagna, garlic bread, and some wine! Also watching movies and a marathon of Big Bang Theory with cuddling on the couch makes for a perfect night! I am a lucky girl!

Confession

Well, still in my funk... but I'll get over it. Anyway, I don't know if it's just me or not....but I am really wanting to decorate for Christmas. ( cricket cricket) I know it is just the start of November and not even Thanksgiving yet but but but.... it is cold outside and sitting by the lit Christmas tree sipping on hot chocolate watching holiday movies just seems so perfect.


I come from a family that has a tree decorated in its own theme in each room of the house so 7 trees total. The Victorian tree, The kitchen gingerbread man tree, The beach Santa tree, the tea cup tree,the family kids craft tree, The Redskin tree, and my ballerina tree. So I find myself wanting to start giving each room of my boyfriends house a theme. Then I realize the amount in my bank account and I snap out of it.


So far, I know I would like the kitchen to have either snowmen or penguins in it with the plaid place mats I saw at Target over the weekend. I would love to make or buy a sign that says " Baby, it's cold outside.

That of course is my favorite holiday song. Jessica Simpson sang that song with her ex husband Nick Lachey and it has been on repeat every Christmas since!

The thought of Christmas makes me all giddy and yet frightened because I have no idea what gifts I am wanting to get my boyfriend or family.


Please leave a comment telling me about your holiday decor. Anything you have seen that fits the snowmen/penguin thought for the kitchen. Your favorite holiday movie, or your favorite holiday song! Be sure you become a follower! Have a wonderful night! Good night!
