Christmas

I had a pretty good Christmas this year. We has several Christmases to go to this year. We started out with my Dad's house on Christmas Eve afternoon. From my dad I got a Dirk Pitt novel that I will try to read even though it's not my particular flavor of book. I also got some DVDs, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (my favorite of the four), Fred Claus, Step-Brothers, and a Larry the Cable Guy Christmas movie. Later that evening we went to Steve's mom's house for Christmas and dinner. I got a Snowman candle holder, a crockpot that I wanted that the lid will hook closed on, gloves, a reed diffuser (from Steve's brother), and a couple of picture frames. We didn't go to church that evening because the roads were slick and our Christmas eve service isn't until 11pm. Christmas morning Steve and I celebrated our third Christmas together. He got me a pair of slippers, the Enchanted soundtrack, the Twilight soundtrack, the 20th Edition of Dirty Dancing DVD, pajamas, my KitchenAid mixer, earrings, a calendar, two computer games that I wanted, and stocking stuffers like scrunchis and nail polish. We spent the day enjoying each others company and getting out the new stuff we got. Then we went to my mom and Terry's house that evening for turkey dinner and Christmas with the immediate family. I got an 8 foot ladder, some picture frames, a "Faith, Hope, and Love" plaque, and lots of fun stocking stuffers. We also got movies from my lil brother and movie theatre gift certificates and a gift certificate to eat out from my older bro. We had dinner at Steve's sister Michelle's house on Friday. She and her husband got me a gift certificate to Kohl's and got us a gift certificate to Walmart to share. His dad was there from Virginia and got me earrings/necklace, a J bookmark, a candle, a prayer journal and devotional, a lettering thing for the wall, body spray, and lotion. We also got money from grandparents on my side. So that's just what I got for Christmas and not counting all the stuff Steve got. All in all, I got a lot of neat stuff and have enjoyed using the gift cards to get stuff that I get to pick out. Hopefully I remembered everything cause I obviously got a lot of stuff this year!

My sweetie is sleeping right now because he has to go to work tonight. I can't complain too much though because since he is going to work tonight, he won't have to work on New Year's eve! Yay! We will be staying home, most likely. I don't really feel the need to go out and party of the day that all the drunk drivers are out trying to kill people. I am glad Steve won't be out on the road that night going to work too. I think that's it for now. I spent the afternoon getting the Christmas stuff put away and will have Steve help me with the tree when he gets up. Hard to believe it's over!
