jackpot again...

Last night, we went to dave and busters to play games. It was tons of fun, we played a few games, got competitive, and won some jackpots and high scores. The boys ended up staying at the derby horse game all night, racing, raising, and taking care of their horses. Hopefully, we'll be able to repeat this next week. We even closed down the place. I just love Christmas time! Only 3 more days.

This weekend, I attended the annual white elephant chrismtas party that John's high school friends hold every year. It was  alot of fun, I loved all the gifts. John recieved a male beta fish (picture to come soon) named lotto "big" balls. And I recieved sunglasses with a mustache attached to them, which I must say was the best one there! Only one more week until Christmas! I still have a lot of things to do. How about you guys?

thank you recipe in a jar

As I was saying I've been really busy lately, especially with Christmas just around the corner. I've found some pretty awesome gifts, but it's always hard to find the right packaging for them. So this year I decided to be creative and create my own packages and decorate them myself. I also made a birthday package for my friends birthday gift too. I feel so inspired that I think from now on this is how I'm going to wrap all my future presents. =) I also made some recipe in a jar, to thank a few people where I work for their hardwork and for making me feel so welcomed. I will post more pictures of my other package designs as I make them.

I hope you are all enjoying the christmas shopping and cold weather!

ok, last vegas post I promise! So here are pictures of my last morning in Vegas. All we did was have some brunch at the paris hotel buffet! Can you say delicious or what?! It was amazing, the food was amazing. We got free champagne, and also the desserts. CREPES! All I crave now is dessert crepes, it's ridiculous I tell you. I really did enjoy this weekend seeing my family and catching up with some of my cousins, especially since I haven't seen a few of them in years.

Wow!! Her concert was amazing! She had so many different outfits! It was also really awesome to see my cousin perform and his friend H-zai. We got to talk to them after the concert was over to see what the plans were for later tonight, and some girl went up to H-zai and ask him to get her backstage. She was even willing to give him her number. haha. it was pretty funny, if I say so myself.

After dinner, we needed to walk around due to the large consumption of food. We walked around the mirage hotel, and saw some pretty amazing things. The beatles ticket booth counter. We also had some little desserts at this cafe which had the most interesting tea pots!!

Sorry, it's been so long I've been really busy. =/

paris hotel at night

ceiling of belagio entrance

This was during the first day in las vegas. there were so many sights to take in, and not to mention all the things going on in the street. It just seemed like all the hotels started to blend together, each one had so many buildings and sometimes I couldn't tell when one ended and the other began. They also have all the underground shopping that connects them all together. You could just keep walking and it would never end.

P.S. I split my posts into sections, so that it would be easier to take in all the pictures and also easier for me to post them.
