Christmas Day

Our first Christmas together was so exciting! We woke up at 530 in the morning so excited neither one of us could sleep any more! We got up and saw what "Santa" had brought! Santa brought me a pair of earrings that were very pretty, and brought Luke a new watch! Then we decided to dig in under the tree. Luke bought we Mario Kart and Deal or No Deal for the Wii, and a GPS system and a Snuggie since I am always cold! I got him some car T-shirts, a dress shirt, some Bill Engvall movies and a car stereo! We were so excited that we spent the next couple hours playing with our new toys. After Christmas was done at our place and we had a chance to go to the parents place and celebrate with the family. Luke's parents bought us a toaster oven and me a pretty ring with my birth stone in it. We bought a dry erasable table for Desiree so she wouldn't get in trouble for drawing on furniture with princesses on it, and Jayson a little shaky toy that he was actually afraid of! I made Stacy a picture of a stocking that says "Hang up your stocking and say your prayers" and a gift card and she made me a Believe plate and also got me a gift card--great minds think alike! The best part was Jolene's reaction to the cross stitch picture we bought her and the shadow box for the ribbons she won earlier this year at the state and county fairs. After all the morning fun, Luke had to go to work. I spent the rest of the day with his family and had fun chatting and playing games and got a Christmas nap in as well. It was a great day and when we got home we had plenty to entertain us with all our new toys! The next day we got to spend together to make up for the time he was working Christmas day. We played games, watched movies and then went to see "Christmas Carol" (Quick movie review: if you havent seen already--wait til it comes out on video... and dont watch it with the kids!) and then went to dinner on a gift card I had won at work. It was a great day void of family drama and made up for missing out on Christmas day together.
