Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree!

HiHi!!

Well, the Fall Semester is officially over, 

and I'm already home.

Of course, 

the regular schools are still in session,

which means until Nicky gets out, the house is all mine!

Uncle Jesse and Michael 

Before leaving for San Antonio,

I always make sure to spend some time at my Aunt & Uncle's house.

I love being with them.

Not only are my cousins so freaking awesome, 

they just let me BE.

I help whenever I can, but really...

When I'm at their house is usually when I get to relax the most!

Starbucks Caramel Brûlée 

I've made it a habit to get a Starbucks every time I drive 

to/from Dallas.

Now, I usually just get my Strawberries & Creme Frap,

but I decided to try their Holiday blends for the first time.

Suzette suggested the Caramel Brûlée,

and it tasted really good... 

except it had a strong coffee taste,

which I didn't like.

....Yes, I'm a Starbucks lover that hates coffee...

Leave me alone!

She was Pretty Excited after Seeing all of the Ornaments!

Our Collection of Ornaments Throughout the Years!

Me & Cora for Size Comparison!

^^This was the reason why I left early for San Antonio^^

Mom got this GIANT Christmas Tree

and the family was over to decorate!

Mom Putting the Lights Up

It's literally 10ft.

I don't exactly know how they got it into the house,

but the main issue:

Our family is pretty short,

hence, the ladder! 

My Baby's First Christmas Ornament!

20years Old Now!

I made sure to be the FIRST on the tree,

haha.

We Found a Body-less Snowman!

The Kids Decorating
L-R: Nicky, Billy Suzette, Me

Poor Coraline had to go to bed and couldn't finish decorating!

My Family!
R-L: Mom, Billy, Nicky, Suzette

Which may not have been a bad idea,
seeing as how we were going kinda crazy....

R-L: Mom, Me, Nicky, Suzette

We're Just Missing Rochelle and DJ!

Found his Body!

And it's hanging on for dear life!

Why, yes, that is a Fork hanging in our Tree!

...Billy's Little Addition...

Combining Our Nativity Scenes!

Christmas Tree: DONE!!

& Apparently I was a genius for suggesting 

us to take silhouette photos:

Nicky's "Flying Man" Silhouette

Suzette's "Super Man" Silhouette

Billy's "Falling Man" Silhouette

Mom's "Betty Boop" Silhouette 

And then we ended the night

with some well deserved 

Hot Cocoa!

Till Next Time: 

Remember to KEEP IT GENKI!!
