Christmas 2013, our golden Christmas. A lot of love, a lot of memories and a lot of gold, literally. I naively bought gold glitter wrapping paper to go with our white and gold color scheme and boy was that a sparkly mess. I digress. A special Christmas none the less.
Christmas Eve afternoon at Mister Mister’s parents house.
Nana knows her Hot Wheels loving grandson all too well.
A tire shaped toy box to keep his cars in.
An early Christmas gift to Mister Mister from Lovey and I.
That is one leather wearing, happy man.
My Christmas Eve gift to the boys, light up remote control cars. I had eyed these on the Christmas toy palooza, that is the home shopping network come December, for a couple of years and finally caved. There were no regrets.
Racing in the kitchen until T-minus one hour before Santa was due to arrive.Christmas morning, stocking time!
Who needs rose-colored glasses when you have Christmas tree tinted ones?! Just saying.
He asked Santa for Hot Wheels and a yo-yo. Santa came through on both requests!A tire shaped yo-yo to go with the Hot Wheels, Santa is so witty.Always adding to Mister Mister’s Arizona Cardinals collection.Such a cutie.Lovey received a train table as a gift from Mister Mister and I and the boys spent hours putting it together and then playing.Cozy new blanket cuddles.Christmas flowers from my boys.Our Christmas dinner that I prepared.Christmas card love, one of my very favorite kinds of love. xo
After a visit with Mister Mister’s parents and gift exchange followed by Christmas Eve dinner we then spent the rest of the evening at The Grotto’s Festival of Lights, a local church sanctuary’s Christmas celebration. The paths were illuminated with scriptures.A procession of angels appeared to fly above through the trees.There was a petting zoo with goats and a baby lama, as well as a biblically based puppet shows for the kids.A breath-taking nativity scene was nestled into the cove of a mountain.Candle lit prayers lined the walls.
The church was lit up beautifully inside and out for midnight mass.There were “prayer trees” that guests were welcomed to contribute to. A lovely gesture of community and touching experience as we read through them.
Of course there were so many lights! So many beautiful, beautiful lights.Kisses beneath the twinkling lights, wrapping up our favorite season that always fills our hearts with joy and light!
October Ipsy: Beauty Candy
What I received…
*MICA Beauty Cosmetics powder eye shadow in an olive-green shade. I wasn’t very excited about the product or the color so I haven’t tried it yet.
*Figs & Rouge hand cream in the scent mango manderine. The packaging is really cute but I am not a fan of citrus smells.
*Starlooks lip color. It is a pretty pink shade that I like. Not too bright so I would wear it spring, summer and into the early fall.
*epice purifying face scrub. I haven’t tried it yet but I was fine with receiving it.
*Doll 10 illuminizer in shade champagne. This is definitely my favorite think in the bag. I added it to my everyday assortment of products, I use it to highlight above my blush and I like that it has a built-in mirror also, it’s cute.
The bag was ok, much sturdier than September’s bag. I like the color and the quilted pattern on it.

Lovey and I made doughnuts for breakfast. He added the Halloween sprinkles.
After picking Lovey up from school we had scary face pancakes at IHOP.
He wanted to be Michelangelo from the Ninja Turtles this year.
Happy Halloween Ninja Turtle style!
We trick or treated at the mall first.
And ran into Quail Man, a childhood favorite of mine.
Then we trick or treated around our neighborhood.
It was the first Halloween in years that Mister Mister was able to take off from work and spend with us so we were really happy to have the time with him.
Our favorite decorated house in our neighborhood. The full moon above it couldn’t have been more perfect.
And of course Lovey made out like a candy bandit. It was definitely one of our best Halloweens in years.
