Well, we got through Christmas with no major issues. lol I want to thank my friends...I really do have some great friends who rallied together and helped me make this a wonderful Christmas for my family! :) We spent Christmas Eve over at my parents house, laughed, ate, opened pressies, laughed and ate some more and then it was time to come home and await Santa's visit. ;)
I wish I had a photo of what we got my parents this year, it truly is an unusual gift...its a window, frame and all, with a painting of the original light house in our city..all done by a local artist. I am going to have to get a pic of it from my mom and post it. Kbug, our daughter, got her very first sewing machine from her yaya and papa (my parents), Drew got a Kindle..which is great because his college is trying to switch over to e-books, so this will come in handy for him. (I like the kindle too because you can get the kindle app for your pc and download books and such via your computer too). For all the years that Rick and I have been married we have not bought each other Christmas gifts, because it is for the kids not us...but this year he surprised me and broke that "rule".lol Thanks to him telling me to "rearrange the gifts under the tree to make more room", I saw the box from "Santy Clause". lol So, Kbug and I went out in search of the right gift for him, this landed us at the local Harley Davidson store. lol No, I did not buy him a bike...ahahhaha my gift wasn't that big ya'all. lol I did get him a HD head scarf that is big enough for him to fold and wear up under his hard hat at work and Kbug got him a HD calender...with bikes and bikinis. lol That calender now hangs in place of honor in his work room. lol We got Drew a new flat screen TV and Kbug got a new mp3 player (which first one sucked..from wal mart, so new one from amazon is on its way). lol Drew got me a great candle and an itunes gift card and Kbug got me a slipper and foot therapy set...LOVE IT ALL!! :) Drew got hubby a new grillin spatula, he has been asking for one all year, and this one has a butane lighter at the handle end..sooo cool! :)
We hung around at home on Christmas Day, just enjoying being with each other. Some family and friends called and well, some did not. Ya know, none of that matters...it really doesn't matter who calls and who does not or who sends a card and who does not...what matters is we spent it TOGETHER as a FAMILY. Yup, that's the best pressie anyone could have given me...time with my family.
