❄ Christmas Day/Haul 2013 ❄

This had to be the best Christmas I ever had the good fortune to experience except maybe my freshman year of college but that's a different story. I am not trying to brag in this post. I was asked by several people to do the post. If you feel like I am offending your or you don't think I actually got everything on this list, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Christmas presents actually started getting opened on Christmas Eve at my friend Gene's house.

I will go in order of what day I got them.

Soooo Vince and I are walking in Genevieve's backyard which is part fairy garden and part play area for the kids. He suddenly pulls me to swing and sits me down and pulls out a box and says, "I'm not proposing, but I will some day." Inside the box was a beautiful snowflake ring. I will link it because we are having to have it resized. So HERE it is for now until I can post a picture. It has a diamond center, London Blue Topaz as the first accent stones, and then blue topaz as the second accent stones. I love how he customized it so it would look like it was from Frozen!

Gene's family in her house got me two Thomas Kinkade pictures.

Which will go into my living room.

Which will go in my hallway from the kitchen to the dining room.

Another friend's household presented me with a pair of dangling Alabama earrings. Coming from this household, it was a novelty because all but the husband are LSU fans. So I was very happy to receive these! They also got me a gift card to Cracker Barrel

Another one of my best friends, Ridge, they made me custom tea cups from All Fire Up! You go in to the store paint whatever ceramic they have then they fire them up for you. Her household also got me a Lush's Christmas Candy Box.

Ridge's older sister's household gave me a vase from Jonathan Adler found HERE. They also gave me a personalized pet door mat that says "Hunter's Daily Agenda: Let Theo Out. Let Theo In. Let Theo Out. Let Theo In."

Ridge's little sister's, Courtney, household got me a Hershey's Syrup Chocolate Scented Candle and a Sephora gift card.
