Christmas in Review

Whew! Christmas came and went like a whirlwind!  I enjoyed many days of celebrating and fun time with family.  


I love Christmas trees!  I always have to snap a quick photo before all the excitement begins.

Grandparents' Christmas tree

 Mom's Christmas tree

 Dad's Christmas tree

 Everyone enjoyed their baked goodies from me, they were a big hit!

 The true reason for celebrating, Happy Birthday, Jesus!  I am so thankful for the greatest Gift of all!






 Robert is at Belhaven for his Junior and Senior years of college.  He is on the baseball team and the season begins on January 27!  He gave everyone Belhaven gear for the Spring.  Belhaven's school colors are green and gold, he found a black and gold shirt for me though.  I can cheer for the Blazers but still wear my Golden Eagles colors.  

 We gave my mom a Garmin for Christmas, she'll definitely use it this Spring as we travel to Robert's games.  This was a Black Friday "door buster"!  I haven't posted about Black Friday's Shopping Extravaganza because I had to keep this gift under wraps!  (The BFSE 2011 post will be here soon, video included!)

 My grandmother was so excited to give Robert these "toe shoes".  He loved them!

 Each year we all get great stockings!  My grandmother stuffs them full of wonderful surprises, this year I surprised her with her own stocking.  She was very excited!

 Cousin Ellie and I watching the Golden Eagles in the Hawaii Bowl.  We won!  Southern Miss ends the season with a 12-2 record, best record in school history!  Mele Kalikimaka! 

 My cousin, Peyton, had a precious smile this Christmas.
"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." :)

 Rob got a Kindle Fire!

 I got MANY wonderful gifts as well!  I think you can call my Christmas a "Pin"-mas.  I luckily have some  very computer-savy family members that follow me on Pinterest.  Many of my gifts were my actual pins!!  I had no idea, it was like my pin-boards were coming to life!

I pinned this cute monogrammed door hanger.......

 ....and look, there it is!

 I pinned this beautiful Anthropologie gold jacket......

 .....and now I'm ready for a Southern Miss game!

 I thought these earrings were so pretty....

 ....and they really are!

 Almost everything I pin has a touch of turquoise, I love turquoise.  I got lots of pin-inspired jewels!




 I've had my eyes on this Alex & Lele bracelet since Mistletoe Market, so excited to unwrap this!

 How cute are these Toms?!? Yes, please, I'll take the polka dots!

 Check this out, my very own embosser.  It says "Made from Scratch, Kelly Marzoni", perfect for all my baking gifts!

 Beautiful stationary 

 Can't wait to start making some cake pops with this!

 And you know I love all things Apple, I can't wait to start using this Apple TV.  I'll have no reason to ever leave my home!

 One of my students gave me this super cute monogrammed bag, I loved it!

 I got many beautiful ornaments to add to my tree this year. 




 Love this picture frame, looking forward to displaying a fun Southern Miss photo!

 Okay, look at these shoes!  They are pencil shoes!!  My grandmother always finds the most unique gifts, these will be perfect when I dress up like Miss Bindergarten for the 100th day of school.

What a great Christmas and so much to be thankful for!!

One more picture of my tree before I take it down.

Happy New Year!
