I absolutely LOVE Christmas. I love the decorations, the parties, the gifts, the smell of Christmas trees, Christmas songs, and everything that comes with it. On Christmas Eve we had dinner with Brad's family and opened our gifts with them. We both got clothes, gift cards, I got an awesome canvas print, Brad got cologne, and a few other things. Brad's mom is the best at picking out clothes for me. Everything always fits and is always sooo cute!! As i'm finishing gifts Brad says "Hunny, the rest of your present from mom and dad is at home".....So I try to stay focused, but naturally all I wanna do is get home and tear into "the rest" of my gifts. Eventually we wrap up the evening and head home. I was so excited to give Brad his gifts! I got him a Florida Gators tag and license plate & a new pair of Costa Del Mar Sunglasses! He LOVED everything. Then...It was my turn YAY!! Brad & his parents went in together and got me the Nikon camera that I had been drooling over for months! I was SOOO excited! Life is gooooood :)
The only thing I wasn't so thrilled about this year is that Brad had to work AGAIN. So when I got up at 4:00am to make his lunch I decided to go on out to Momma & Daddy's house. There's just something about waking up Christmas morning in the house you grew up in...I mean i'm not sure how Beka felt about me raiding her bed at 4:30 in the morning, but it was necessary. We eventually woke up, read about the birth of Jesus from Luke 2, and then opened gifts. Beka & I had asked for money. We're going on a road trip out west in June, and we need some dolla dolla bills ya'll ;) So when I opened my gift and found a book I was kinda confused, but hey....I love to read! Then as i'm skimming through the book i find something scattered between the pages....You guessed it....GREEN, BABY!! So we got our money and the book was sooo good. It was called "Shades of Blue" by Karen Kingsbury. Go read it....although there probably won't be money in your copy so don't get your hopes up...and don't be tryin to steal my Momma & Daddy ;) After gifts we had pancakes and bacon...mm...mm...good. After Breakfast I kinda waited around on Brad to get off work. When he got off we made his family rounds and then called it a very exhausting day. Hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas as well!! Thanks for everything guys!!! We love ya'll!!
