My Christmas via Instagram + a sparkly haul!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday if you celebrate! My sister and I were in Atlanta for the holidays to celebrate with the family - we had such a great time just relaxing at home and spending time together. We have work today till the end of the week so we had to drive back around 2 pm yesterday to avoid the rain/thuderstorms that started around 5 pm. I was sad to leave my parents and other sister on Christmas day, but I was still happy to spend the morning with them. Santa was SO GOOD to me this year, seriously feel so blessed! I will be filming a Christmas haul hopefully today so stay tuned for that later this week! :-) 

I filmed this haul last week and never got around to upload it till last night! It is a collective winter sparkly and indulgent haul! Make sure to watch my videos in HD so you can see them in the best quality. 

My dad, sister and I drove to Atlanta after work on Friday so we did not get home till about 9:30 PM. My sisters and I baked cookies and watched the Polar Express. 

chloe was excited to go home!

I somehow always get assigned the task on buying my dad's gifts to my mom so I headed to Phipps in Atlanta during the day - definitely needed coffee to brave the crowds!
