Suprise package, shopping & random pictures

Hello Bloggers! :)

My mom has been bugging me for the last two days asking me if I got a box yet that UPS was supposed to be delivering. Now keep in mind.. my mom is new to the internet scene and doesn't really like ordering from the internet so I had no idea what she was going to be sending to me. I went out to get the mail and saw a box next to our side door. I grabbed it and ran inside, I could not wait to see what it was.. and it was light too.. I had NO idea what it was..

One of the final pieces I needed for my Willow Tree nativity!!!! =O  I was so shocked, She was going to buy it for me while we were at the mall the other week but I told her no, buy it for me for my birthday so then I could put it out for Christmas instead of getting it for Christmas and having to pack it away already. Now all I need is the creche and my nativity will be complete!!

Playing with the settings on my camera.. a shot of the tree and some presents! :)

I also got lots of goodies in my mailbox the other day! The lipgloss and Pink doggy are from ebay and the tarts are from Scar Borough Lane.  So far I only got to try the Zucchini Bread but it's AMAZING. I can't wait to melt the others!!

 

 

My Bath & Body Works haul from the other day. I got some more body washes for my mom but she took them already.

I also got a couple more candles today and some Wall flowers from B&BW. I have a problem -.-
I got some lotions from TJ Maxx while we were in DC. One is from Pure & Basic it's Creme Brulee and it smells like heaven. I got a banana one also in the body wash, the creme brulee is just heavenly though. I checked my store here at home and they don't have them, and I can't find it online :( I want more!!!



In other news.... I have a super busy next two weeks ahead of me, Friday I have to go for my dress fitting/alterations for my friends wedding. Then hubby and I are going to go laptop/tablet shopping. I haven't been able to tell him a gift that I wanted for Christmas and a laptop is the only thing that I can think of, so he said we'll go together on Friday and pick something out. I am so excited!! Then we are going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I went two years ago and am excited to see the new violinist. The last one was amazing and she had a pink see through violin. I would marry her instantly =P Then we plan on going to the Hofbrauhous to eat afterwards. Then of course the Christmas weekend festivities and going to 9230672390627 (almost quite literally) families. Then after that my friends wedding is on the 31st, the rehersal stuff is the 30th. I've never done any of this wedding stuff before. I am more comfortable at funerals and thats sad. We plan on getting some OJ and vodka and having some at 10am when we are getting our hair done and saying its just our breakfast. I am excited but super nervous at the same time.



Ok, enough boring details about my life for now. Hope everyone has a great, happy and safe Christmas weekend!!
