What I Got For Christmas

Here are just some of the things I got for Christmas! I took the picture in the morning and I got more gifts later on the day. But, I'll tell you what I for Christmas in the picture! I'm not trying to brag at all on what I got for Christmas. A person told me to make one on my blog yesterday. To be honest, I think bragging about what I got for Christmas is stupid. Well, lets just get started 

First thing I got was from my best friend Natalia. We been friends since 3rd grade, we always got gifts for each other. She got me a Vera Bradley Campus Double ID in Pink Swirls I believe. I don't really have a wallet, I have a 'wallet' that goes on your wrist. So, I don't really have a place to put my gift cards or cards. That Vera Bradley will be so helpful! She put it in a cute small green bag with sparkles. She also got me a card that said "Happy Holidays" with a Santa on it. Inside the card has a message and a $20 Hollister gift card! The gift card was good timing too, because it's close to the winter sale thing and i can use it! I am so thankful for what she got me!

Second thing I got was from my use to art teacher. I got him a gift last year and that was my first time meeting him. He painted/drew a cat with a candy cane in her/his mouth on a card stock. I think the card looks soo cute!! In a box he gave me a hand made cup! I love cups, because I use them a lot. I take a water bottle and dump water in to a cup and drink it from the cup, because I'm just weird. The cup looks so 'old' and I love it!

Third thing I got was from my mom's friend. She up her gift in a red gift bad with snowflakes. She got me Godiva chocolatier, it's milk chocolate caramels. Milk chocolate with caramel in the center. I never tried it, so I'm excited! Next thing she got me was Lindt, Lindor chocolate, in Hazel nut milk chocolate truffles. I love hazel nut! I cant wait to eat it!! So, it's chocolate with bits of hazel but in it! 

Another thing she got me is a $25 Target gift card! I go to target a lot so, it would be very useful! 

Fourth thing I got was from a friend of mine named Hannah. She got me Lip Smackers, I got her a bag of puppy chow because she LOVES puppy chow. I also needed a new lip balm, so she got me some! The Lip Smackers are in different flavors, the flavors are chocolate lemon, royal red velvet, vanilla butter cream, and strawberry. My favorites are chocolate lemon, royal red velvet, and vanilla butter cream! I didn't like the smell of the 'artificial' strawberry. So, yeah. 

Fifth thing I got was from my dad. He got me some chocolate, the fancy kind. He put them in a small red bag with 'Ho' all over it. He also put $25 in it. Cold hard cash, so I'm really happy! $25 in my pocket.

Sixth thing I got was from my brother. He got me a pair of 'bunny' slipper, and they are so comfy!! The inside is so soft! It really keeps my feet warm and like I said it's so comfy! He got it from Forever 21 too. 

The thing that my mom got me was the my new laptop. I'm so happy that I got a new laptop, because my old one was so bad. The farm was broken too, so. Yeah. It's not in the picture because I got it a while ago. That's all I got in this picture and bye!
