Happy Birthday, baby girl! Another birthday where I don’t get to see your derp-derp eyes looking up at me in confusion and your spazzes.

Wishing you all the balls you want and sleeps on the couch. Hoping that you get spoiled rotten with treats today.

Work was a cluster****. I’ll probably get fired for speaking out but I felt it was necessary. Therefore, I ended up at Mallory’s late by one and a half hours. She fed me stuffed salmon and green beans that hit the spot!

John came home late too so I had the pleasure spending bath time with JJ. Then he wanted me to read him a few bedtime books before John got home. He was such a happy kid today and it was a breath of fresh air after the last meeting I have.

Three more days of work. I can do this. The weekend better be a great one!

Finn is going to be born soon so Brudda asked us all to get flu shots so Mum and I went and got ours this morning. Work gave them out for free but since I was getting Lasik at that time, I wasn’t allowed to get the shot. I’m glad I got pretty good insurance now so my shot was free, unlike last year.

I grabbed some wines and snacks and took Mum home. Then I headed over to Mallory’s. Leah was coming over for a visit again so we got some girl time in.

Anyone that knows me knows I love KitKats. I saw this Mint + Dark Chocolate combo and had to get it. It’s probably now my favourite KitKat, other than the BigKat of course. It’s so good, I had to write about it.

Mallory, Leah, and I had mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice by John. Yum! It wasn’t as sweet as the store-bought juice but still super delicious. JJ had fun with his new toolset he got for Christmas. Maybe he’ll be a little builder when he’s older.

Mallory and I put on new Color Street nails, new year style with the sparkles. It is definitely cheaper doing this than getting nails done by a professional. I do miss the pampering though.

John took JJ to go play at the park while we girls and Jacob watched two episodes of season 2 of You. It’s much gorier and disturbing this season but so far, so good.

We ended up ordering DoorDash from Alicia’s Mexican Grille. The fajitas were very good, as well as the guacamole. I loved that they gave chips and salsa as well which some places don’t do when you order to go. The downer was the soup. Although it was good, I wish that they put the rice on the side rather than in it. It also needed a little more spice. Mallory liked it though since it was very mild. Overall, not a bad experience. We were just happy that the food made it to us and in a timely matter.

I’ve been working on a project for Finn’s room and my fingers are crossed they come out okay! Maybe if it does, I’ll share it with you all.

The day started out with coffee in front of the tree with our Christmas pajamas on. Penguins for Rizzo and Buc-ee’s for me. Coffee … who am I?

Sissy, BIL, Bruno, and Kato came over and we had our hot pot lunch. As we get older, we’ve noticed we eat less. So much leftovers for dayz.

I tried to take cute pictures of Rizzo in front of the tree, like I do every year, but he didn’t feel like cooperating. He wouldn’t sit or lay down. These were my best shots. Still a cutie, I guess.

We did a video chat with Brudda, SIL, and Emmy since SIL can’t travel with her belly being so big. We started off with our Secret Santas. I got seven gifts in one box nicely labeled to be opened one at a time.

This was NOTHING off my list but I’m not mad. I’ve decided a while back to try and collect as many Deadpools Funko Pop! as I can. The only downside was that I wasn’t going to actively go searching so this was a nice surprise. This explained why Brudda kept asking me questions when I visited during Thanksgiving. Thanks, Brudda.

Now to order my shampoo and conditioner and other useful things I actually needed for everyday use that was on my list … yeah, I’m horrible at asking for what I want.

The other gifts I received this year. Dad’s annual money game where I always end up getting the least. Yay $30! haha I don’t know what a “small meal” is. Does seafood boil count?

These are gifts from other people to other people that I loved. Rocky painted by one of Sissy’s best friends, Halley. I want one of Rizzo when I have my own place though it is super expensive. Little cute pandas. And Buc-ee’s Carolina Reaper salsa I got for Dad that I low-key wanted for myself for my Christmas tamales.

One of the next-door neighbor kids made cookies for the pups. They gobbled them up. Sissy joked that there was poison in it but they seem fine.

Everyone took naps while I organized things in my room. For Katie’s annual Family Christmas Party, I wore the “Santa’s Favourite Ho” sweater work bought me. It was perfect and Kiran had a big kick out of it.

My plate of food. The pork belly was on point today. I could eat that forever.

We were blessed with this $46 bottle of champagne that we were told was $80. Still, super expensive and fancy. I felt a bit regal. I’m used to that less than $20 stuff.

My loot from the family party.

I’m pooped. It’s been a long day. My body is tired but my brain is still alive. Chatting with a few friends through messaging and watching telly until I fall asleep.

Merry Christmas, world!

Mahal kita!
