Merry Christmas!

From us 'Hot Messes' to you. Hope you all have a very luxury day and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

I need to join D&B Anonymous.

I have an addiction and I just can't help it. The other night my mother and I went down to Dillards to do some Christmas shopping. The Dooney's were on sale, but when I figured out that they were 60+% off, it wasn't a question of 'should I' it was 'which one'. I found this really cute black one with fancy, multi-colored ducks. I also got the matching wallet, just because I wanted to. I also talked my mom into buying me the matching umbrella. She did and I am getting it for Christmas along with the other D&B bag that she bought me.

I seriously almost had an anxiety attack because I just wanted to buy all of them. Problems.

On another note, the backlight on my alarm clocked stopped working last week. Technically it still worked as an alarm, but when I saw this at the Target i just had to buy it. I think it was a very good decision even though my sisters relentlessly teased me about it.

In conclusion, I just like to buy myself Christmas presents because it's fun. Do you buy yourself presents too?

You've had a Birthday, shout Hooray!

Gabby turned 14 today. I distinctly remember the day she was born and it seems like just yesterday.

Here she is with our adopted sister, Kim. We went to Winger's and had a fun night with about 15 of her closest friends. (Let me just say that I'm glad I'm not a teenager anymore.)

Happy Birthday, Gabs. I love you!

Oh, Archie.

I am loving this cd. Homeboy sings like an angel. I feel like I am cheating a little bit on my all time favorite Christmas cd.

I just love this kid,

A very Danilee Christmas:

I decorated my room for Christmas. I think that it looks very luxury.

My mom got me these two cute ornaments last year. Cupcakes, pink, sparkles. What's not to love?

When I grow up and have a house of my own, I will get this tree. Also, I will decorate the outside of my house in pink and green lights. (I don't really care if the gentleman I live with doesn't approve of the color scheme, he can go decorate his own house if he wants to.)

Dear Shacklyn,

Love, Danilee
