Monday Mayhem - Back to the Grind

What a wonderful Christmas Vacation! Hubby and I traveled to see family out in Oklahoma. It was great being back there for many reasons...

1. Family: We have not seen his parents, sister and other relatives in almost a year. So we cherished the few days we had to spend with them. Our niece and nephews have gotten SO big!!!

2. QuikTrip: Ahhh...the best gas station ever. And the BEST hot dogs EVER! I always get a hot dog and then an Orange Slushy every time I go. I'm thinking about opening up a branch here. Our city desperately needs one :)

3. Belk: One of my new favorite stores! It is nicer than a Kohl's but not quite like a department store...and I got FABULOUS after-christmas sales! Including the adorable skirt I have on today :)

4. Gingerbread Wars: We had a gingerbread competition with everyone in the family and this was mine and Zack's. I think we won the war!

It might be hard to see on there, but there is a Santa on the roof, and "smoke" coming out of the chimney! Also, the snowman in the front yard is holding a candy cane :)

5. Bedazzling with no Bedazzler: We all got a bag and these awesome beads. The fellowship with all the ladies was the best part! Have you ever done a bag like this with your bare fingers? Metal pointy things are not good for your nails...ps...I didn't use any sort of tracing or outline, so I hope you can tell what it is!

Those were just a few of my favorite things about the trip! I also got TONS of beautiful jewelry for Christmas from Park Lane Jewelry. If you've never heard of them, you should check out their website. I have started a collection over the past few years from gifts from Zack's family and I love every piece!

How was your Christmas Holiday Week?
