Third Ornament of the 2013 Buffyfest Whedonverse Ornament Swap Received

Rain from California sent me an envelope that was just a gift that kept on giving.  The envelope itself was made from some kind of paper with Angel on it.  

There was a post card with "The Scooby Gang" on it, with her wishes for me for a Merry Whedon.  She included two trading cards, a drawing of the firefly Serenity, a Buffy iron-on patch, AND my very own browncoat!!

Fantastic!

More Christmas Nails

Tree Nails.  They lasted a long time.

Snowman nails. They lasted not so much.

Random design. Snow falling and a tree on my ring finger.
All nails except ring finger have a matte coat on them.

Mustache tree nails

I offered to do some nails for my co-workers' wives before our company Christmas party.  Only one lady took me up on the offer and she drove from FAR away (at least an hour) on a Friday with her 5 year old daughter to my house to have pizza, salad an get her nails done.

We had a really nice time and I even did her daughter and Isabel's nails a-la Mincecraft

Christmas Time with the Fairy God Person.

I've been wanting this for years. It's been on our "I Reeeeeeally Want" list on the fridge since 2011. (We have a list stuck to the side of the fridge for us tho write, throughout the year, things that we decide we want.  This way, when birthdays, anniversaries or Christmases come around, we have an idea.  So like I said, on the "list" since 2011.)

FGP has heard me mention my want of this item for several years. It was just too expensive and I never in a million years expected FGP to get it.  I figured I'd just start collecting one by one until I got all 7.   This year, FGP asked what was on my list & I mentioned nail polishes, some movies, gift cards and this gift that I still have not gotten because I would never allow David to spend so much $$ on me.

FGP went and bought it for me. I about passed out.

What the heck am I talking about?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have already listened to these 2 times each; from the library.  Fairy God Person could not understand why I would want to listen to them again and again, but got them all over me anyway! Ninety nine discs!

You have NO idea how excited I am!

Second Ornament of the 2013 Buffyfest Whedonverse Ornament Swap Received

This beauty came from Jennifer in New York.  When I opened the box, I laughed so hard!

 Don't get it? FOR SHAME!  I mean....here, let me explain.

In the very last episode ever of Buffy, "Chosen" Season 7, (SPOILER ALERT), the gang's in a school bus racing like mad out of Sunnydale.  Sunnydale implodes into a crater; goodbye Sunnydale.  

The gang stops to stare out at their lost city.

What an AWESOME ornament, Jennifer!

P.S. TODAY, Epbot posted my ornaments on their blog.  Cool!  See the post here.

Isabel's First Dance Recital

Isabel's been taking dance classes since the summer.  She did a mixed Jazz class in the summer (all ages) just for fun and then when the fall began, we signed her up for an age-appropriate Jazz Class.  Once she got over her initial worries, she's been having a great time.

They practiced all Fall for the Christmas recital. What a great show. She was a little nervous, but had a lot of fun.




There were over 20 acts, but they had it all down and we were out of there in less than 2 hour, including an intermission.

Here are a few clips of some, not all, of the acts.
