  • Family Christmas party

    Tonight is the family Christmas party. We have to do it early because if we don't we'll never get to open presents and spend time together. I'm really happy that I get to see them but I won't lie I'm a little bummed that I will be in a hotel again this year on the actual day.

    Lex drew the short straw so she had to host the family christmas party at her place this year. I felt a little bad for her because she had to do the halloween party too. I missed it because I was in Thailand but the pictures looked like she put a lot of effort into it. She loves to decorate so the mantle was done up really cute and they had the tree out. She even made Roxy a special holiday collar. That is a new thing we've started doing. She dresses the dog which I think is nerdy but she also makes her all these custom collars to match holidays and stuff. I like doing that part. Usually we draw names as siblings for christmas but this year we added the boys into the mix so it made things more interesting because we had to buy gifts for these people that are new-ish to the family. I got Nick (Lexa's boyfriend) so I was trying really hard to think of something he would like but I wasn't able to get what I wanted in time  I had to give him a gift card. I hope he wasn't too bummed out about it. Lex had my name. Lucky girl! We have been drawing each other's names for the last ten years or more so she has it way easy. She didn't have time to go shopping either so we are doing "christmas after christmas" which also pretty typical for us  She suprised me by getting me a giant inflatable dog from Victoria Secret. She always gets me the weirdest things but I like it.

    The party was fun. I won't get into it too much on here because it's probably not that interesting you any of you anyway. There was one funny part though. Nick had drawn Jenna's name so he bought her these massaging slippers and a bra (obviously Lexa had thrown in the bra part). Jenna had the bra and slippers on her lap and Nick walked up to her, pointed to her gift and said "Are those double a's?" He was reffering to the slippers and what batteries they took but since he pointed in the general direction as the bra and Jenna's chest it looked like he was asking about something else. My grandma just started cracking up. He got a little flustered after that but it was funny.

    Pictures from my Christmas photo shoot should be coming soon.
