The Christmas Round-Up

We had a perfect Christmas here at the Silverii household filled with lots of family traditions and great company!

First on the traditions list was spending Christmas eve at our family friends house who we have a seafood feast with every year on Christmas eve for as long as I can remember! This year we added in a dirty gift exchange! it made for more laughs than usual to say the least lol. I ended up with a fun gift but nate brough home a bottle opener that makes orgasm noises when you use it.... yay! NOT lol though he is pretty amused by it! Also there were stress ball boobs and penises lol, beer opening rings, penis pasta and lots of other weird wonders

 (apparently there were sperm inside the stress ball penis...)

 (beer bottle opening rings super powers!)

(LOL)

Needless to say we all got off to a semi late start Christmas morning. This was our first year being able to host Christmas morning at our house! It feels so nice to have a home you want to share with other people. We were a small group this year just us the dogs and my parents but it was a perfect day. We opened gifts, relaxed and watched It's a Wonderful Life ( a must in my family for the holidays) while the turkey cooked. Then settled in for a nice little Christmas dinner!

We spoiled each other a bit this year cause it was the first Christmas since we have been married where we could afford to! So we got a new 40 inch flat screen as a present to the both of us. Nate got me an amazing bubble bath set from fruits and passions, the raddest leather purse from beaded dreams a local native store along with a rabbits paw and fox tail! Also two shirts n9ot pictured that I am in love with. I am a lucky lady!

 (the boys couch lol)

Hope everyone got to enjoys their holidays as much as we did, and that you all spend your new years with the ones you love!

Tis' The Season!

The Silverii household has been getting extra festive lately. We had a Christmas party at the house this past weekend and we're hosting our family Christmas here next week so we got extra stoked on the holiday decor this year. I wanted to share it with you guys !

We got crafty and made lots of fun little holiday banners for the house, even Nate got his hands dirty and made his own banner! Here is what the house looked like for our party over the weekend.

The amazing little mini cheese cakes in the photo above were from Sugar&Sugar an awesome little local baker who is a friend of mine and makes loads of delicious flavours!  For the party we had Lemon and Eggnog Latte everyone loved them and it saved me the pain of adding one more thing to my to do list for the party.

We had a great party, so great that I may have spent all of Sunday hungover lol. Can't wait to spend Christmas day here with my family for presents and an epic feast!

What are you guys doing to get in  the festive mood this year?

The Holidays Are Here!

So growing up Christmas was always a big deal at our house. My mom always decorated the house beautifully and it has for sure rubbed off on me! We always went out and cut down our own tree every year. But with the 2 dogs it's just too messy so we decided on a fake tree.

I really wanted a white one so we went on a mission! 3 Walmarts later we finally found one, they were sold out everywhere! We decided to do teals and silvers to match our living room. Nate is American so to him setting up a tree so early was a little weird because down there thanksgiving hasn't passed yet lol. But we got him in the spirit by getting him to put the star on the top of the tree!

It turned out amazing!!! 3 cheers for our tacky Christmas tree!

I got my mom to snap a few corny family photos by the tree <3

The rest of the  house is starting to look pretty festive too! Not sully there yet but it's getting there.

I am off tomorrow and my plans are to get my Christmas cards ready to send out and make a wreath for the front door! Hope you are all starting to get in the Christmas spirit <3

Holiday Wrap Up

Alright so I have been insanely busy since the holidays and have slacked on writing you guys an update on how we spent our holidays! So here it goes!

This was the first Christmas with my parents living back East. We have spent holidays together out here but it was never quite the same because we had no central hub that was our own to spend them. So it was so nice to have my parents house to all share the holidays together!

I was up very early on Christmas eve morning hanging out with Dolly in our xmas sweaters!

We spent Christmas eve at my parents best friends house and had an amazing spread of seafood and appatizers! Don't know if I have ever been so full in my life!

They have three dogs of their own, plus Dolly and her daughters bulldog Winston it was like a zoo! The pups were all so pooped out by the end of the night to say the least! SO here aresome pictures from that night.

Dolly and Tilly sniffin out the situation

 

 The Silverii family too full for smiles

Dolly and Tilly at the end of the night ready to go to sleep and wait for Santa!

Once we wrapped up our night there we set out on the hour long drive to my parents place in Perth. Got in around midnight all had a drink or two and got the tree and stockings and last minute wrapping ready for the morning. We started out morning with gifts and mango Belinis ( yes my mom is super cute and made belinis for xmas am).

Then it was on to breakfast!
Poached egg with ham brie and chives and spiced shortbread cookies

We relaxed all afternoon and watched movies while the turkey cooked on the bbq! As always my mom made an epic dinner and set a gorgeous table so here are some pictures of all that.

And lastly here is a picture of where my parents are living, a christmas afternoon walk and Dolly pooped out from all the festivities in her new blanket!

All in all we had an amazing holiday season and it was shared with the people who matter most in our lives. I coulnd't have asked for anything more! We had a skype date with my aunt Leslie and Nates family in California who weren't able to be here so that was really nice too!

I hope everyone had as great a holiday as we did and that 2012 is off to a great start for all of you!
