christmas in november

apparently i get two christmas this year... maybe it's to make up for last year. *sigh*

gabriel arrived from EEUU friday morning, and he came baring gifts.

lists are fun, and i especially liked making wishlists for things i wanted from home. i think i actually surprised myself. besides a few food things, there isn't much i just HAVE to have. 

i got my dress for matias' formal graduation reception that is at the end of this month

i got a new tennis outfit ( i like my tennis outfits - they help inspire me :) ha!)

jelly beans

brownie mix

mac makeup (they have it here, but it's nearly 30% more here (foundation is 30 there, 40 here... is my math right?)

thai lime cashews - i did have to have those

cups and ounces measuring things (by far the most precious - i just can't get grams yet)

others got things too, the two jars of crunch peanut butter were quickly claimed, one girl's mother sent her cupcake pans, cause we can't find them anywhere. gabriel brought nike booty for the masses.

it was a fun day. there is nothing like opening up a suitcase that's filled with treasures

THANK YOU, MOM!!!

and tiina, too, for the BEAUTIFUL scarf, i seriously love it.
