I got to celebrate my 23rd birthday with the people I love the most! My ENTIRE family, my boo, Eric, my closest girlfriend, Holly, and the Fitzgeralds. It was pretty overwhelming, but Eric's family met the crazy Rios family and it went a lot better than I anticipated. I also met Eric's sister Candice and her husband Zach for the first time. That was exciting. Too bad they came on a crazy weekend. We didn't get to spend much time with them. It was a faboulous birthday though. I got a Spongebob shirt. I'm obsessed with it. Go ahead... judge me. It's super cute. What boyfriend wouldn't want to come home to this?
Then a week after my birthday we celebrated my Daddy's 45th birthday! Once again we had the whole family over and my Dad got WASTED. The men sat and took shots like pros. It was pretty hilarious to watch. He was super hungover the next day. My Dad never really had those wild party days because at 21 he was married and had already started raising my two sisters who aren't even his biologically. He's an awesome Dad. They can't even say he's a step dad. That is their dad. 
The week after that was Holly's birthday! It was super fun and she looked amazing in her fox hat with paws. It was a HUGE hit. People loved it. I'm glad she loved her birthday gift. Who doesn't want Tiffany's playing cards?

Who doesn't want Tiffany's playing cards?Christmas came so quickly. It was a pretty magnificent one. If you look close you can see Amy's baby bump. We found out last week that she is having another girl. Geez. The girls dominate in the family. Eric got me a Cricut for Christmas and I am pretty much obsessed. I've become so domestic lately... I scrapbook, make crafts, organize... last night I even made a new dinner recipe for the whole family (minus Erick who RUDELY cancelled on dinner after I started cooking. Worst. Brother. Ever.)
I spent New Years in Vegas with my parents and Eric. Thanks for the trip parents! You're too kind. We spent our time eating. eating more. and even more. We played craps and the stupid little slots, but came home even. We kissed at midnight on the strip with fireworks every where. It was perfect.

And finally.... high five me. I'm down 43 pounds and I just a few pounds shy of my goal. Party time!
