I think I can safely say that everyone in my family had a wonderful Christmas. We had a few folks fighting colds, but other than that it was splendid!
Not that Christmas is about presents, but I got some great ones!
Ryan went over the budget we established and hooked me up with this:
My parents hooked me up with a NOOK (Barnes & Noble's take on the kindle). It's touch screen and bad ass. I have already downloaded several books. The Help will be the first one I take on. So long real books... I'm saving the forest!
I also got lots of other fun prizes... i.e. several things of OPI nail polishes, PJs, a Hobo wallet, perfume, a gift card to my favorite restaurant, MAC make-up...
The only thing I can conclude is that I was really, really nice over the past year!
But don't worry... Ryan was apparently nice too!
He got a Sirius Radio, a new iPod Shuffle, clothes, a new watch, PJ's, a Brita Water Filter, and a Wii Gaming System!
Let's just say we have tore down on the Wii. I am so sore from all the games we've played (which is a lame thing to admit... but I like to keep it real).
He also got some great Auburn memorabilia:
An autograph copy of Pat Dye's latest book.
As well as an autographed photo by Auburn's Heisman winner, Cam Newton!
Ryan and I are so blessed to have families that love us so much! I couldn't ask for a better family or for a better set of In-Laws.
To make this year's Christmas even more magical, a rare and unusual thing (at least in the south) occurred. It actually snowed on Christmas Day in good ole Alabama. It was the first white Christmas in these parts since 1930 (or so said the news). I don't have any great pictures of this event because I was too busy with the video camera capturing the moment. I have plenty of shaky video of me saying, "Oh, look at the snow falling. It's a white Christmas. So pretty! Look at the house covered in snow. Look at Maggie running in the snow on Christmas Day."
This is the only still shot I have.. this was around 3:00 Christmas Day. |
And for those of you who are wondering... Yes, Maggie had a lovely Christmas too!
It was so much fun it wiped her out! |
