Last week, my sister turned 15 and I got sick. :( I had all these plans for projects that I'm working on but none of that happened. Hopefully this week/end I can get my act together. xo Alicia

There are two weeks till my Birthday! So I thought it would be fun to put a little wishlist together. source source source * a new laptop * this crochet book * this set of books * scrapbooking/paper stuff Ummm... I think that's it for now. At least that's all I can come up with.

So Friday this guy turned 4 years old! My Mom and I took him for lunch at Islands. He was so funny, when we walked in he told the hostess "It's my birthday!" Later our waitress brought out a sundae for him and we sang Happy Birthday. As we walked out of the restaurant he asked, "Is my birthday over?' Silly guy! I also baked a marble cake for him later in the evening. That way all of us sisters and brother could sing Happy Birthday to him! His excitement was too cute! Now that he realizes there is cake involved with birthdays, he is obsessed! Sunday I attended a cousin's wedding but the time change almost kept me home. I was excited to take this picture, I thought outfit post! But I didn't take enough pictures and looking at this picture I look posed and stiff. Why did I hold my arms away from my body? I am totally loving the dress and tights combo though. I need more dresses! haha xo Alicia 

Last Tuesday my sister turned 14! Time sure is flying by.  My Mom and I took them to Islands to celebrate her birthday!  There's the other sister trying to force a kiss on our younger brother. We had a pretty good time. Lots of laughs and of course good food! The birthday girl just before she enjoyed her Kona pie. And this Friday the littlest brother turns 4! Remember that crochet project I shared last week? Well, I finished it. Which normally is awesome but the vest was a bit of a fail. Why? Too short! Ugh. So now I'm debating if I should go back and make it longer or scrap it. xo Alicia 

This is the cake my Uncle bought for me. Love him! My Grandmother made one of my favorite Mexican dishes Posole. Sorry no picture of that. I was too busy digging in, lol. source But looks something like this My Mom took this of me, my brother and my crochet is in there too. This is a house we drove by. A close up of the Blythes. xo Alicia

source  source source source source all via Pinterest Yup, it's all about Christmas pretties/inspiration this week. I love stopping at Target with my brother, the minute he sees the holiday section, he draws in a breathe of excitement and yells "Christmas!" Only a few more days till December and 30 days to my birthday! xo Alicia

That's the ice cream cake I purchased for my sister's 10th birthday. She LOVED it! We took her to Islands for lunch and then to Baskin Robbins to pick up the cake. All in all it was a good day. Even though the car battery died right after we picked up the cake. LOL Here's the B-day girl. xo Alicia 

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a Great Holiday! Today is my second sweet 16! lol... It's my 32nd birthday, so today's favorites are birthday related source source  source source source My wish is set, just waiting to blow out the candles later! Till tomorrow xox Alicia

source Can you believe December is here? I'm excited not only for the holidays but for my birthday as well! Yay! It's not till almost the end of the month which gives me a little time to think about a list of goals for the next year :) Oh, what do you think of the pretty snowball necklace? It's from etsy shop Night Owl Crafts. I actually found the shop through weheartit . There are other pretty baubles there as well :) buh-bye Alicia

Sunday Father's Day and my brother's 7th birthday. We celebrated Monday night, since he went to the movies Sunday night and today graduation. See ya tomorrow! xoxo Alicia
