Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town by Bruce Springsteen

I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the lights we saw last night... they were awesome!

They had some really pretty trees in the hotel so we posed with them :)

O Holy Night by Josh Groban

I subbed middle school math today... glad to get back to school! It was a great day in 8th grade. Tonight we're off to a very large Cabela store, dinner, and to a golf resort that has a Festival of Lights with some friends. It should be a great evening!

Last Christmas by Hillary Duff

Today was very productive. I washed our sheets, scrubbed the tub, cleaned up the kitchen, and started getting outfits together for Christmas break and our family vacation to St. Thomas (we leave December 27th... and I seriously cannot wait!!!!). Since everything is clean now, I have started pulling outfits for all the Christmas things coming up (parties and celebrations with our families) and summer clothes for the week on the beach. I'm being very proactive while I have the time so that I can relax and enjoy the holiday! Tonight I decided to make my own creation in the crockpot for dinner... and it was another winner! It was kind of a breakfast casserole with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and lots of cheese.

Now I am enjoying some key lime pie yogurt and hot chocolate for desert!

(Its actually a really good combination.)

I haven't been too creative with my outfits this week, because I haven't finished my laundry yet! It will be done today however, and I'll have my whole wardrobe to choose from again. I love that feeling when everything is clean... the possibilities are endless! I also don't need to look super creative as I do stuff around the apartment, however I am on a secret mission for a christmas present for hubby, so this outfit looks just fine for a quick trip to the mall. I'll show you what I ended up doing after Christmas. I'm very proud of my idea and don't want him to see this and have it be ruined! (Hi sweetie!)

Back to contacts for a few days. I like having options for my eyes again :)

I fixed up my About Me page today... and I think I'm finally happy with how it looks. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Christmas Wishlist #2

I told you I'd make another one! I'm happy to say that I am done shopping for most of my family. Still need to get a few things for hubby's family, but we have a mall date on Saturday so we can finish. How are you doing on christmas shopping? I've already wrapped just about all the presents, so I am ready for some time at home with my family (thats really the best part)!!!

This was my favorite necklace ever... a nice everyday necklace from Stella and Dot. During our move this summer, it somehow got lost and I miss it lots.

I read Lauren's first book, L.A. Candy and really want the sequel. Also, as a fashion blogger, and lover of Lauren's style, I need her book! :)

These are both from Victoria Secret's Pink NFL line. Since the hubby is a browns fan, they are obviously good kissers, and I would love some Bills sweatpants! 

I always need more music... I'm a music teacher!

This sweater looks awesome, cozy, and is different than other things I own... love it!

We moved to the town where this movie was filmed, so hubby and I need to see this movie!

Do I even need to explain myself? I own seasons 1-6, and want to cry over and over again when I watch Michael propose to Holly in season 7.

Hey Hubby... do you see this? I found it at Sears :)

What do you want for Christmas?

The One That Got Away by Katy Perry

Some days its hard to convince myself to get dressed... in something more than pajamas. If I'm just going to be doing stuff around the apartment like laundry, cleaning, wrapping presents, and making dinner (like today), then I'd like to be as comfortable as possible. Well, I decided this outfit was close enough, but good enough for an outfit picture. Nothing exciting, but not pajamas!

This photo totally makes this outfit more exciting!

I am, however, very proud of this creation. I decided to use the crock pot for dinner tonight... put a can of campbell's fiesta cheese and a can of diced tomatoes in the crock pot. I added some cooked ground beef and lots of spices (salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, basil, parsley, and celery salt) and let it cook for a couple of hours, then added a little bit of shredded mild cheese. Then when we were ready to eat, I boiled water and added egg noodles. Put it together, add some sour cream on top, and you have an excellent meal!

Marry The Night by Lady Gaga

I love Christmas, the season of giving, the time where everyone enjoys the company of family, baking cookies, drinking hot chocolate, and snuggling by the fireplace. I also love decorating!!! I took a few pictures of some of our decorations around the apartment. 

Putting ornaments on the tree... also gives you an idea of how small our little fake tree is, yet perfect size for our apartment

Poinsettas and our nativity scene

Our finished Christmas tree and some decorations on the tv... of course The Office is on :)

Enjoy your Sunday!
