Can someone please help me translate this message?
Hello my friends, hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving 
Here is the text message I received:
"si y ganaste en la varaja si erik tambien para mi fue un dia muy bonita gracias gracias por todo temiravas muy guapo buenas noches"
The translator reads:
"if and won in the varaja if erik also for me it was a very nice day thank you for everything good night handsome temiravas"
Can someone please correct the grammer errors so I can resubmit to the translator?

Yes, Erik, you won!! Yes, for me Erik, it has also been a great day! Thanks, thanks a lot, you looked very handsome. Good night
I know, lots of spelling mistakes. I am guessing on the first words, ganar la baraja...I guess we are talking about a card game here?
Webdunce:
te miras guapo
Very usual in Spain but not so in other countries, I have learnt this on forums, otherwise I would have taken it as a mistake.
Te miras guapo: you look handsome
It probably should be:
Sí, y ganaste en la baraja. Si Erik también para mí, fue un día muy bonita. Gracias. Gracias por todo. Te mirabas muy guapo. Buenas noches.
For which also the translator gives utter nonsense; so, I'll offer my interpretation below:
Yes, and you won the argument. If Erik had also been for me, it really would have been a great day. Thanks. Thanks for everything. You were looking mighty brave. Good night.
I may not have gotten it exactly right as I'm not a Spanish native (and neither am I fluent in Spanish at all), but it should be close enough.
Please note that baraja can have something to do with a deck of cards and guapo usually means handsome (which certainly might have been her intention), but I chose brave because it sounded like you stood up to somebody on her behalf. I'll leave it to you to decide whether it was about a deck of cards and whether she meant handsome or brave. Either way, I think she was impressed.
(Please read Heidita's translation, mine is wrong, but I'm leaving it for the record's sake).
I did almost get the Spanish right, though. It should be...
Sí, y ganaste en la baraja. Sí, Erik, también para mí, fue un día muy bonita. Gracias. Gracias por todo. Te mirabas muy guapo. Buenas noches.
(I had taken the second si to be si as in if, not sí as in yes).
I know, lots of spelling mistakes. I am guessing on the first words, ganar la baraja...I guess we are talking about a card game here?
Yes, for context, in my previous text to her, I told her "I returned to my Aunt's house to play cards and that this was a Thanksgiving I would always remember". I closed with "buenas noches mi angel, duelces suenos"
Anywyas, Muchas gracias webdunce and Heidita for the assistance!
