Happy Christmas Eve To ME! {NEW CAMERA!}

December 27, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend!

How crazy was it that Christmas Eve and Christmas was on the weekend?  Okay I know it happens every few years right, but I don’t recall the last time it came around.  At least I get this week off from school! 🙂

I have so many pictures from the weekend it will blow your mind.  Many of the pictures are of sugar-filled goodies.  Many pictures of family as well.  There are more photographs than usual because {drum roll please} I got a new camera!!  The Daddio and the BF went in on the best present everrrrr!

Nikon D3100.  Holy Buckets.  I cannot begin to describe the awesomeness I felt when I opened the 10 packages (the BF thought would be funny to wrap each individual part for the camera) I was ecstatic!

One of the first pics was of the BF.

Then those goodies and family pictures I spoke of. 😉

^Delish almond bark covered oreos and peanutbutter truffles.^

 ^Daddio and Sis C.^

^Cousins!^

^Aunt K and I.^

^Grandma R, Me, Aunt D.  Aunt D. told me she had lost 75 pounds in the last few years by drinking water before each meal and controling her portions.  No diet food and no exercise at all, just the water and portion control.  Fascinating yes?^

^Grandma R and cousin pretending to sleep ;-)^

^I got sis C Shawn the Sheep “We Wish Ewe a Merry Christmas.”  She loves Shawn the Sheep!
 
Then there are the tree pictures.  You know, the ones where everyone’s like “Let’s take a picture by the Christmas tree!!”

^Sister C, Daddio, Me^

^Sis BF, Sis C, Daddio, Me, BF^

So excited about my new camera!!  Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you BF and Daddio!! 🙂 🙂

Stay tuned for more Christmas pics!!  

There is only one more Christmas post coming up and then there will be more normal Semi-Health Nut blog stuff.  I do love posting fam pics though so maybe this is a normal Semi-Health Nut Blog post.
