christmas

my birthday & christmas has quickly came & gone.

i tend to do last minute shopping on my birthday every year.

& that's what happened again.
i had a day of shopping, lunch with binh (thanks binh!!), & 2 trips to target...

my mom & grandma were cooking up a storm for dinner & christmas.

nothing beats their food.

we ate & were in a food coma until we went to midnight mass.

after midnight mass, we opened presents.

& belle had been eyeing binh's big box for her.

i had to hide it in the closet cause she attempted to open it a couple of times.

& when it was time....she went so wild.

it was a treasure chest with disney princess outfits with a crown, slippers & fake jewelry.

she was SO HAPPY. quickly took off her clothes & got dressed.

(THANKS BINH!)

she kept posing for the camera & it was the funniest thing ever.

she rarely does that. but i guess princess gowns can do that to you.

we went to bed around 2am & woke up at noon on Christmas day.

Christmases are usually lazy days.

we spent the day eating & watched the knicks game, despicable me, & eclipse.

these tap shoes was part of my christmas gift for belle.

my mom originally wanted to get her ballet shoes but they didn't have her size.

but i saw these tap shoes in her size & i knew she'd love it.

cause she likes to wear my heels cause of the sound it makes...

so i was sure she'd enjoy the taps these shoes make.

i was right :)

& as we all know...it snowed like crazy on sunday.

belle was able to play & go crazy in the snow the next day when it finally stopped.

but that deserves its own post tomorrow.

hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
