2 Days to Go.....

I'm ready....so ready....Are you brotha?
Soon after Thanksgiving, Matt and I passed a middle eastern grocery store while on our way to meet up with his family. We stopped in to the Raja Bazaar and got some interesting soda pop, cookies, and star of david pasta for our Hanukkah celebration. Sadly, none of it was anything to write home about. I guess you win some and you lose some.
I think it was due to the fact that I finally got my Playmobil nativity that I've had my eye on for years and years. It's so hilarious.
We followed tradition and decorated gingerbread houses a mom's house.
But I spent a lot of time hula hooping like Alvin the Chipmunk while Matt decorated.
We spent the night at my parent's house on Christmas eve and opened all our presents.
Tucker was really into the whole wrapping paper ripping.
A Crème brulée torch!
T&Co! Matt got me a necklace with a little pretzel charm on it because my favorite place and best memory of a place we've been has been in Germany where I got a pretzel the size of my head.
After opening gifts, we played all night...
Matt and his wii...
Me in my snuggie.
For my work Christmas lunch we went to the Petroleum Club in Downtown Dallas for lunch. It was schmancy....so schmancy that I made my co-workers pose with these caroler statues because I was too shy.
In January, my nephew Will got in touch with his feminine side and wore a headband to mine and my niece's birthday party.
Kennedy wanted a princess castle cake, so Grammy came through and did a great job!
At work, Matt sent me flowers and I got a sweet David Hasselhoff card from my friend Jamea.
My boss got me this BIG balloon that I'm still really confused about....I'm pretty sure I don't act like a princess at work...
AND she put a giant inflatable cake in my office. You'd think it was a milestone birthday, but it was just a boring 26th birthday. I'm not complaining though. 
Okay maybe not. This is a picture of the kid from Slumdog Millionaire, but it is close enough.
He came dressed in a Jason Hockey Mask, carrying a Christmas gift bag for candy, and when he got to the door said, "Trick or Treating"
Tucker stood guarding the door and waiting for more...but that was it for the rest of the night.
But hey 1 is better than none! And I was just happy that one of our neighbors finally acknowledged that we're alive!
So, we toasted with some of our bloody red, kosher grape juice...
And watched classic scary movies the rest of the night.
I made a raccoon coming out of a jack-o-lantern and Matt made a Frankenstein!
