Christmas this year was extra special. Having family together is one of my favorite things in the whole world, and having our newest addition there added even more magic to the holiday. I guess you could say that she was the star of the show!
And now I present you with all the wonderful F’s of Christmas 2011…
The Family
The Fun
The Food
(Look away my veggie friends, that right there is a turducken! And it was awesome. )
The Future
As you all know, yesterday when my computer decided to finally give up after 5 long years, I asked everyone on twitter, facebook and the blog whether I should look at getting a MAC or a PC.
Overwhelmingly the responses favored MAC. (Most) everyone who owns one loves it. So I considered it. I researched both options, went and played with many different models of both Apple computers and PCs and finally decided that…
I’m uncool.
I want to be the trendy, artsy type that loves my MAC, but hand me some glasses and a pocket protector, because I’m a PC kind of gal.
I finally decided on an Asus Ultrabook, which funny enough is considered the PC version of the MacBook Air. And so far…?
I’m obsessed. It’s a solid state drive, quiet as a mouse and weighs less than 3 lbs.
We usually aren’t big gift kind of people, but… Merry Christmas to me!
Did you get any gifts that you just love?
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Wow, it looks like I could pick that up with my pinky! Now I really want a new computer 😉
I got a food processor which I’m beyond excited about to make my own nut butter now. <–dork.
Brittany says
if you’re a dork, than I am, too! I’m itching to get into the kitchen and play with my new gadgets 🙂
Susan @ Real Life Travels says
Nate and I focused on everyone else this year. We decided that fixing up our boat is our gift to each other 🙂 Can’t wait for Summer!
Melissa @ Be Not Simply Good says
I enjoyed the “F’s of Christmas” as well. Family, fun and food are hard to beat. 🙂
I really like the glasses pictured just above the turducken. So pretty.
Sarah says
Oh you’re not dorky for being a PC girl! Macs can be really intimidating to switch to… not to mention expensive. If my husband hadn’t handed me his old Mac and took away my dead dinosaur of a laptop, I’d still be PC!
ps… I LOVE LOVE those wine glasses! So festive!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says
Love Hailey’s reindeer shirt. Too cute!
Enjoy the new computer – I’m a PC girl too.
Brittany says
I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone. PC and proud! 😉
Heather says
I love all the food pictures and the ones of Hailey are adorable as always.
I received an iPad 2 and I am loving it. I know longer have to carry around my computer. It is great.
christina says
aww she is so cute! glad you had a nice christmas with the family. that laptop is SO THIN!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Sounds like you made a very educational decision regarding your computer! Congrats on the new purchase!!
And I love all of your pictures from the holidays … gorgeous family!
Liz @ iheartvegetables says
Your family is SO cute!!!! and that’s so funny about the PC 🙂 I’m so glad you like it!!! I love my Mac but it does get confusing switching from this computer to my work PC!
Jamie @ FoodinRealLife says
Looks like a wonderful holiday! I have an Asus (albeit a really big and heavy one), but it’s been great!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
We don’t exchange gifts since we focus on giving to the kids, but do get Christmas money to spend how we wish. I spent ALL of mine today at TJ Maxx buying cold weather running clothes and yesterday at the running store buying new shoes. Yea. It was worth it. LOL
Brittany says
New shoes are totally worth it! If my computer wouldn’t have given out, new running shoes would have been on my list, too. New shoes motivate me to get out there 🙂
Danielle says
I’m a PC girl too. As much as I want to join the popular table of MAC lovers, I just can’t.
Allison @ PickyEatingRD says
Hailey looks so adorable! Glad you had a Merry Christmas! And I too am a PC girl. My bf has been trying to get me to switch to a MAC for almost 3 years now. I just can’t do it!!
Kris | iheartwellness.com says
How cute…….omg. I love the smiles on little ones and how special christmas is to them!! I love it! What a gorgeous christmas you had! you deserve every bit of glam this season!

Sarah says
Looks like you had a fantastic Christmas!
I got a computer also =) And im so not a Mac user either. PC all the way!
Sophie @ LoveLiveAndLearn says
Oh what a beautiful post!
Your family is lovely and of course Hailey looks adorable in all of the photos 🙂
I’m glad you had such a wonderful time, the company looks amazing and the food looks divine!
Jen says
