work party

Last night we had our annual Christmas party for work. We went to Centro in downtown Des Moines. I had thee best scallops I've ever had. YUM! I'm still full. 

I couldn't wait to wear my new outfit. Found the skirt and top at YOUNKERS.

All the girls together!

home run!

Pure Ice nail polish "Home Run!"

christmas came early

Sunday morning I woke up to get myself some coffee and realized I had left my creamer at work... While I CAN drink my coffee black, I do not choose to. Good thing our kitchen is always stocked with booze!

I had to wake up early because we had Christmas at my grandmother's. Everyone laughed that I wore heels just to drive down to Lacona, because as soon as I walked in the door I put my slippers on. They were not surprised.

Can you tell I'm at grandma's - wood paneling

end of christmas shopping

I finally finished with my Christmas shopping, Saturday morning. I got up to beat the crowds and finished shopping in a few hours. (I'm good) 

The best part is I got to wear my new boots

I think it's safe to say that everyone,  everywhere stuffs their faces for the holidays. I have took it to extremes this year, oops! I cannot stress how happy I will be when Christmas is over. I'm so ready to be back on my diet! Good luck, everyone.

sunday shopping haul

Last Sunday I went shopping with my mother and grandmother, my two favorite women. They always shop early, which means waking up early on Sunday.

These are the goodies I got!

I'm a little behind on posts. Let us begin at Thanksgiving! The whole family, including first cousins, gather and my grandmother's. We always eat a big feast and run around and play with kids. 

As soon as boyfriend and I got home from Thanksgiving I put up the tree!
