All I want for Christmas is you!

Merry Christmas!!!!

   My Christmas Eve and Day were wonderful! It was just Sean and the animals this year is was our first one together alone without a roommate. It was much nicer that way. I got many wonderful gifts! Just wait till you see what Sean got me for a birthday/xmas gift!! Christmas Eve as usual we spent at his parents house where we do the secret santa, which never really secretive... like at all. Hahaha! I got Uncle Bill for the second year in a row. I got him a gift cards. He has two favorite restaurants so I did the one I didn't do last year.

Christmas Eve!

Sean got all maroon colored clothing, hahaha!

New shirt!

   Christmas day we went o my Aunt Jackie's also as 'per usual'. It's always the same thing, lots of good food/desserts, gift exchange, and playing Just Dance or some sort of karaoke on the Wii. It's so much fun, but you sweat your ass off doing it, haha.

   Okay here are some photos from our house before going to Aunt Jackie's. 

Our gifts under the tree.

All the gifts...

Birthday dinner!

Hello!

   It was my birthday dinner last night with all the guys, Sissybear, and Kevin's new girlfriend, Kim. We all went to Red Robin, which Dina hates but came just for me. She even paid for everyone's meal! Talk about awesome. Now everyone thinks I have the coolest sister (which I do, sorry). It is right down the street so it's convenient to get too. Then after we all went to back to the house and watched a movie. It was a great night with good people.

Christmas crafts.

Howdy peoples,

   Christmas is soon, here are some fun crafts we did after school. Also a random one of our book addict!

First ginger bread house I ever got to make, Bridget did a good job decorating.

It's the end of the world as a we know it...

Hello everyone,

   As you know the world is going to end on the 21st. The prophecy of the Mayan's and other source say this is going to happen December of 2012.  Everyone has their own theory of what it going to happen. So I decided for my birthday party I would do a let's party before it ends. My birthday falls after the 21st so that kinda sucks....

   This is was my theme song of the night, I LOVE Britney, so much. Plus we had some other great 'end of the world' songs. Loved the music choices of the night.

Sean and I.

   Also btw everyone was suppose to either dress to impress (Go out classy as f***) or dress like you're going to survive! I decided to go with both wore a velvet short dress with bad ass knee high combat boots. Some people didn't dress up.... Like my boyfriend ^ but that's okay. Some people did, like people who I'm not good friends with, so it meant a lot!

The only down fall of the night.... no one showed up. It was my birthday and people are are supposedly my "friends" didn't come or even say they couldn't. Just didn't. It really sucked and made me feel like a loser. But thankfully the people there made my night special and we had fun. So that's all that matters!

Sean's cousin Alex and I looking dashing, as usual.

Topher, Kevin, Tom, and Sean.

I wish you all the best in this time. I probably won't make it....

Nick's tattoo

   It's that time of year again, Mallissa's anniversay has passed again. This is my brother, Nick's tattoo for Mallissa and Kita. I miss them everyday. Thanks Kevin for fixing his tattoo and making it beautiful! The original was just not doing justice to them, and now it's something she would have loved. 12/5/89-12/9/09 and Nikita left us on May 28, 2011

Happy Holiday to you and yours

I celebrate Christmas, here is an outtakes from our Christmas photo we sent out... Sean didn't want is outtakes posted, but he is just so damn cute! Oh well... hahaha

Enjoy your holidays and be safe

Staci and Greg are having a baby!

Hey to all you beautiful people,

  I am in such a wonderful mood. I absolutely loved this shoot. Not only did I get to spend a little quilty time with my cousin Staci and her hubby, Greg, I got to capture their love and excitement in having a child! They seemed like they've been modeling for years! I feel like I could see things images in a Parent magazine or something. One of my favorite shoots in a while. Just soak these images in!

And their first born, Sheldon. Going to be a big brother soon enough!

Breath taking,  I can't even handle it, haha.

xo

I had a good day.

Hi,

   Once a month we go to my mom's with Jack. Bridget has school till 2:15 then has dance at 3:30, so Donna get's her from school. I love going to my mom's cause it's different scenery, which is nice. jack was so cute today in his little grown man flannel. I mean, LOOK at this photo < 3

How can you not love him!

Have a jelly day!

Pilot Life

Hi!

This is Jack's jacket, and of course it's from Barbra. She always is bringing clothes and shoes to the kids. And she is the queen of finding discounts and getting the best deals... I think I should go shopping with her! Just look at this aviator I have on my hands.

Stay fly..ing

3rd Annual Halloween Bash

BOO to you!

  It was finally time for our 3rd Halloween party we have thrown! Talk about the best one EVER. Our house was so packed, we easily had over 100 people. Talk about nutzzzz. I don't think anyone could have toped it (Well unless their loaded with $$$).

Sissybear, and Michelle aka my best friends!

   We decorated EVERYTHING. Webs covered our ceiling, we changed lightbulbs to creepy purples and greens, I cut out 30-50 haunting bats to cover the walls, and desserts were a bloody mess! I hand panted the cupcakes with food coloring and a paint brush.

"Treat Yo Self" -Parks & Rec (written on pumpkin!)

   Sean, Michelle, her boyfriend Ian, and I were zombies. But Sean and I were 50s cuban (Dirty Dancing Havana nights was my inspiration) zombies that were functional not like walking dead kind which were what they were. I don't know, made more sense in my head!

Sean, Ian, & ShellyBomb

My favorite couple costume of the night! TWD first episode love.

Tom just got back from Nam, Hahahah

Hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween this year, I sure as hell no I did!

RAWR

MT Coffinz

   

    Had my MTCoffinz shoot FINALLY! Only took over a week of a delay thanks to snow & power outtages all over the state! The eye shadows Jinx sent were amazing and actually showed up like the color it shows, so many eye shadows these days barely show up on skin so it was a nice change to have good eye shadow! Plus is vegan! What's better then that! That means! They are hypoallergenic, paraben free, gluten free & of course cruelty free! Pretty much they rock! So go check them out at their Website or on their Facebook Fan Page!

   So around 6:30pm Gia Maria, my model, showed up, she is just cute as a button and so stylish, a quality I lack on shoots for I'm not focusing on me but everyone else! Then my Makeup artist, Katherine Robles came just a little bit later, both said their were heaps of traffic! Which I'd believe since all the power was back on so everyone is getting back to work but not all traffic lights were back yet, so that probably didn't help their drives to the studio! Kathy had to do multiply looks using only the eyeshadow given. We ended up combine some for 3 separate looks. Which all came out fabulous! 

Everyone seemed to love the photos once I posted them, and MTCoffinz Jinx (owner) & Riven (assistant of Jinx) were really impressed, and said they want to defiantly work with me again, which of course made my day... more like my month!

So finally conclusion of this shoot? It was dope.

xo Christina

CHECK THESE AWESOME PEOPLE OUT!

You're my berry best friend!

Boo!

Hope everyone's having a great week! The other day Bridget had her halloween party and little concert at school. She was Strawberry Shortcake... ah-dorable! They sang cute halloween/fall themed songs and did little dances to go with them. But Bridget.... she was on another level! I'm not bragging and I'm not being bias but she was the best out of all the kids. She sang the loudest, some kids you couldn't hear. She did all the dances, even if she didn't do them right she did more then other kids. She is not shy! 

Bridget, her Nana, Donna, and Jack

The kids all looked so cute in their costumes, the fact that they are all so tiny makes it even cuter! So after Nana left and Donna went back to work My mom and I had to walk Jack and Bridget home. Oh my goodness.... Bridget tripped and had a melt down because she ripped her tights and trick or treating was that night! You would have though she was getting murdered by the way she was acting. And to make matters worse their was a cop parked on the side of the road watching this happen. I was mortified because I felt like I couldn't even yell at her or the police would arrest me! After being on the sidewalk for 15 minutes trying to make her move, the cop get's out of the car and asks if everything is all right. In my head I was like Omg! Bridget better get up before I cry! I told him she had ripped her tights and he smiled and laughed then got back in the car. After another 5 minutes I told her she better get up now or she wasn't going trick or treating. That was a lie but she didn't know that. After she finally got up to walk the rest of the way home I told her not too worry because at night no one will even notice and that everyone could still tell who she was! All in all the end of the day was rough. But she was completely fine once we got in the house and didn't even care anymore. Kids maybe over dramatic at the moment but they get over things faster then adults.

Happy Halloween!

BOO!
