Flannel, ponytail, dramatic makeup.

Something about the coziness and warmth, but I jump for joy at a fun outfit I put together using my husbands clothes...

The makeup is the fun, always and I am finally coming around to the red-lipped thing.

Disclaimer: Just in case anyone would like to know, my eyebrows were over-tweezed as a teen (nervous habit). When I grew them out, they have never ever ever been the same... so thanks to my lucky Kevyn Aucoin- Precision Brow Pencil. You can also purchase online through Beauty Bar or Nordstrom. I wear the Brunette and without it, I would not be the same :)

Do you have that one piece of make-up that is a requirement?Would love to hear about it!

Weekend before Christmas...

AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE... we were some shopping fools, minus the Daughter. We have been extremely blessed this year and I cannot believe we are moving into 2014?!?

We did some much needed Christmas shopping, and finished; then saw Anchorman 2... So worth sitting in the second row, and a crick in my neck to watch it.

Anyhow, shot a few snapshots....

The first few are a few gifts given to me from bosses or Secret Santa.

Fun fact, my SS and I chose each other from a random drawing of 60 people.

 This is Cesar and I, Before and after...

utter exhaustion

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday beginning....

Our Christmas Card

So, this is our official Magana Family Christmas Card...

 I am in love, we had a blast taking these shots.

I have to admit, these are our very first Christmas cards, yeah, I have officially hopped on the holiday traditions train. CHOO CHOO..

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Office Space Christmas style..

 I have decided to spruce up my office space... I even used my fern as a small Christmas tree bush. We have our secret Santa going on.. working on our schedules for the upcoming holiday...getting ready.

I am not going to lie, work has been a bit crazy lately and I am already counting down until I take some days off...AGAIN.

This is not myself in the picture, it's my look alike again...today we were asked, while in the post office, if we were twins... ANNND, when I sent Cesar this picture, he thought it was me :)

I did not have much to get at today, just a fun picture of more Christmas decor..

Our Christmas Cozy

When winter-pocalypse hit, we decided it was time to pull out the Holiday decorations. I cannot explain how much I love decorating the house, and Christmas tree. The nostalgic feeling, knowing family time will soon be back, the sleet,frost, and snuggles.

I wanted to show some of my favorite ornaments, decorations and a coffee mug :) I hope you have at least gotten more Christmas shopping done than I have lol, I am so far behind and to be honest cannot seem to be able to get myself together... Anyways, my decor stems from hand me downs, vintage, new and old.

Cabin Fever

BUURRRRR...

Well the DFW sure will shut down when a winter storm hits... I left work early on Thursday to miss the beginning stages of freeze and stock up on groceries.

Now, count the days... Friday.. Saturday..Sunday, three days stuck inside with nothing to do but watch a new Netflix series (Dexter) and get some cozy foods cooked. I, Cesar made beans, potatoes, ham, tacos (my favorite), and homemade arroz con leche YUM. We drank wine, hot cocoa, apple cider, decorated the home  for the holiday's. Although we were getting cabin fever, I LOVED being cooped up with my two favorite people in the world and our three fur babies. Monday came along, I decided to work from home, Cesar went in. Poor Alexandria is still out of school ,I am glad to get back into the groove of things, working from home is not the easiest without two computer monitors. I am already missing the time I was able to catch in with Cesar and Alexandria... I did not get too many pictures of events, due to: No makeup, sweats, and laziness..

Here is a re-cap:

I hope, wherever you are located... you stay warm and dry...try not to slip on ice as much as we did... :)

Parade of Lights...

 So, each year Downtown Fort Worth hosts a Parade of Lights. My mom always has tickets, and this year we decided to go. Wow, it was a blast! 

It completely put my heart in Holiday mode, singing, shouting Merry Christmas as the floats pass by, hearing the the little child behind me say "Santa's coming", well over 500 times hardly even put a dent in my night. (wink face). 

The cold was blistering, well, Texas blistering. None the less, having my family there to bundle up with and enjoy the wonderful time was awesome.

 Anyways, this was a great tradition to start for my small family, I love traditions and this year we, I have been working hard to really kick our family holiday time into high gear.

How do you kick off your own holiday traditions?
