Another Christmas

Well now it's the end of another Christmas and Christmas Eve, so there's nothing left to look forward to, really. Well, there is the whole "Last Post Of 2011/Recap Of The Year" that I'm so fond of doing!

Last night was fun, and a typical Christmas Eve filled with yummy food and the same people :P It was so exciting because Susan was telling us allllll about the wedding! And she asked me to do the makeup! Which means I have to learn new tricks and get good in a few months ;P Her ring is SO PRETTY. Looks vintagey and has so many little delicate swirls and curls and I'm just so happy for her :) The bridesmaid dresses are super cute, too! The venue she picked looks like a castle... me gusta. And everyone's still all "OMG MARISSA'S SO GROWN UP AND SKINNY!" It's awkward, what do I say?! But it's nice getting congratulated for comm design and Florence!

I came home early last night with Lisa and Matt and the kids, which was a very god idea, since mom and dad didn't roll in til three this morning, apparently. They all woke me up at eight to open gifts. Once I had my coffee and a nap, I woke up again to the smell of Lisa's epic French Toast and that just made my morning. Plus, dad was so hungover that he ended up napping all morning and didn't make me go to church! SCORE! Mom even lovingly patted my head and said "My little atheist!" Thanks mom.

And then another loooong night of family and dinner and food and of course, presents :) Vickie had me and I had her, too funny. But we got to Skype with Annie and Michael and Gaius and Helo, so that was fun. I wish they could come out for Christmas :/

Loot thus so far: sewing machine, travel bag for it, suitcase, Sims EP, spray painted rabbit, Smashbox makeup and brushes, more makeup brushes, a bedazzled pill box, my assassin boots, a leather tool, a graphic design book, and that awesome raspberry shower gel. And about $230 to spend at A'gaci! The only things I didn't get were the Sephora brushes (But I lucked out and got brushes anyways!) and the Viva La Juicy perfume. Das ok, maybe I'll just go get those on my own soon enough.

And now the kids are asleep, my parents are PFTO'd on the couch, and I'm down in the cave wrapped in the warmest down comforter ever. Looking down at my bunnies resting on my stomach, I realized that... they're not as clean as they used to be. I'm too scared to wash them :( Maybe I should let mom do it. But I need something to cuddle with!

And because it's Christmas, my favorite Christmas song.
