Blogmas Day 25 – Christmas – Last Day of Blogging

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Today was such an amazing day spent with my family!!!!

I sort of ate breakfast as per usual on Christmas morning. I was also able to make myself a cup of coffee on my new Keurig!!

I am so thankful for everything I received this Christmas!!!!

I headed over to my dads house to open presents! I got a automatic car started!!! If anyone knows my car they would know it as the “ice box.”

Dinner was by far my favorite part of my day! This Christmas was tradition. I hate straying from tradition!

My grandpa has not been in the best condition these past 2 years. He had surgery to clear a 99.8% clogged blood clot that the doctors caught in the perfect time. He has recently been diagnosed with dementia and was in the hospital not being able to remember names or even talk. Thanksgiving we strayed from tradition and had it at my house. I am beyond grateful my grandpa is in good health right now. I am also very grateful to be celebrating christmas in our normal environment.

We opened presents and as per usual all four of us cousins are matching!!! Thank goodness my grandmas have good taste!!!

Merry Christmas,

Hailey Heavens

P.S. It has been very hard to keep up with Blogmas but I am very proud of myself for following through. Can’t wait to see what next year brings! xoxo

Blogmas Day 24 – Christmas Eve

1 DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS WHAT!?!?!

Today was such an amazing day. Christmas Eve to me is one of the more exciting days for me. In the morning I got to spend it eating amazing food made by my mother and grandma. My grandma makes the absolute best crepes in the world!!!! We had a feast! I got to have a lot of great conversations with some of my cousins and learned a lot more about them.

After we ate breakfast everyone cleared the room. My dog Bentley saw his opportunity to have a feast of his own. He hopped on a chair then onto the table and started feasting himself. Until he got caught..

Later in day more of my family arrived for dinner. I didn’t eat much because me and my brother were going to my dads house to eat after. We opened a few gifts from our family. I got an extremely cute hat from my grandma from Brandy Melville that I have been obsessing over for the longest time! As well as a Michael Kors sweatsuit!

We went to my dads house to see all of our neighbors and friends. We ate steak and lobster (our tradition). After hanging out we played the game known as Double 5’s. A very popular game on my dads side of them family!!!

I can’t wait until next year!!

Love,

Blogmas Day 23!!!!

2 Days until Christmas!!!! AH!

Today was a busy day filled with cleaning and shopping! I’ve never been a person who shops at the last minute but today was crazy!!!! Although I didn’t buy anything for christmas specifically. I bought all the ingredients for breakfast with my family on Christmas Eve! I am always grateful to see my family on Christmas Eve morning. I have 3 cousins that I rarely ever see. My grandma who lives in Arizona with my other cousin will be there as well!!! I am thankful I will be able to see them tomorrow! Along with all of my other family, friends, and neighbors in the evening!

Thankful,

Blogmas day 22!!!! – Giving

3 Days Until Christmas!!!!!

Today I wrapped all my christmas presents!! I am not the best at wrapping gifts for people so it was very interesting to say the least. It is such an amazing feeling though. Being able to give gifts is so rewarding to me. I am very excited to see what everyone thinks of their gifts! Some of the gifts I personally made and I am very proud of my accomplishments! I can honestly say this year I am more excited to give than to receive. I’ve always been looking forward to receiving gifts but after buying and wrapping all the gifts I’m looking forward to putting smiles on my friends and families faces! 🙂

Love,

Hailey Heavens

Blogmas day 20!!!

Today I shopped till I dropped!

I also had a family Christmas party at my dads house with my step moms family. There is never a dull moment with them!! I got a super cute satchel from our family gift exchange and bath and body works from my older step sister!

Merry early Christmas!

I was actually not disappointed!!

The best thing I got this month was the Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara. I have the full size and I love it!! This one is small enough to keep in a makeup bag for my purse or to keep in my car!

I’m glad I got the eyelash curler because I was in need of a new one! It works amazing!!

The pixie eyeshadow is an amazing color, one of my favorite colors to wear as an eyeshadow. I might even wear it as a highlighter above my cheeks!

I love the fact that I got a NYX butter lip balm but the color on me looks awful!!!!

The cool way hair repair is something I don’t really need but i might use! I’m dying my hair blonder soon so I might want to give it a nice repair!

Blogmas Day 18!! – Maggie Daley

8 Days until Christmas!!!

ONE WEEK!

Today I went to the new park in the city! The Maggie Daley park! Once I got there I was a little disappointed. The pictures online make the skating rink a lot bigger then expected! Although it was a pretty good size! In my opinion it was better than the classic rink in Millennium park. There was more space to skate and it wasn’t just one circle. The bad part about the rink was the cleaning of the ice. It took 45-60 minutes to clean the ice. When we got there the ice was already to so badly skated on and there was so much ice shavings it was hard to skate almost. That was the only down fall to the rink. Other than that it was so much fun! The view while skating was breath taking!! It was one of the prettiest picture perfect moments in my life. I felt like I was in a movie!

This time I didn’t get lost in the city!!!

Blogmas day 17!!!

9 Days until Chistmas

LUCKY NUMBER 8

Today I set up my village! I set it up every year! It is one of my favorite things to do around this time of year. It makes me officially get in the Christmas spirit!!

I learned how to turn on the electric fire place in my house today! Just a switch of a button… It has been next to the fire place the whole time but I never even noticed it. I relaxed with my dog Tanner while I watched TV.

Blogmas Day 16!! — Weakness?

10 Days until Christmas!!!

This doesn’t seem real..

I am officially on winter break for school!!!! Thank lord for being a senior!!!! Seniors at my school don’t have to take finals if you meet certain requirements! Today I just relaxed on the couch with LuLu. I was teaching her how to sit and give me her paw. She was quite successful many times!

I was watching the news and I saw that they recreated elf into an animation move… I was kind of mad but I really want to see how this movie is. It aired on TV but i missed it.

Im STILL not over my flu!! I had a coughing attack all night and woke up to one at 5 am!!!!! No I didn’t fall back asleep. The word part about this sickness is that I keep getting this weak feeling. I have no idea what it is! I feel it mainly in my legs and sometimes in my arms. The only way I can describe it is that my legs kind of go numb/ weak. They get this weak feeling and it feels like i’m in a wave pool. The feeling only lasts for about 1-2 seconds but I have no idea what it is. Anyone know??

Blogmas Day 15!! – Sick Dance

11 Days until Christmas!!!!

Woah… This December is going by way to fast!!!

Today I had to go to school because I had to perform a dance. If I didn’t I would’ve had to write a paper. I went into school the period my dance was and of course I looked like a hot mess. I looked in the mirror and it looked like I did my makeup blindfolded. My top eyeliner wasn’t even on my lash line. my face makeup looked 10 shades darker than my body. It looked like I had one eye with mascara and one without. How embarrassing! The dance I had to perform was for my dance class that me and two other girls choreographed. We did it to the song Santa Baby. I was sweating so bad when I got to the school. My fever was trying to exit my body. I had to wear a big huge ugly sweater. I found it in my dads closet but the funny part is that he uses it as a normal sweater… The dance was performed in front of 7 different gym classes on a huge stage. Just the three of us.. We went first too. Im proud to say I didn’t mess up!!

I’m a trooper.
