And......it's done.

    I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone already!!! ALOT of hours of wrapping and only minutes of ripping and tearing.....it was worth it!! We were truly spoiled this year..so many wonderful gifts from our families, and many useful things that I am so thankful for. I think our girlie was totally happy with all of her gifts...she's such an appreciative, un-selfish girl..the BEST really!!

     Our day was pretty long and involved alot of driving...it can be tiresome, but I'm always happy to see everyone and spread some holiday cheer. We've decided (and informed everyone) that next year we will NOT be leaving our home but staying in and enjoying our lil' fam...our beautiful decor and an awesome dinner..everyone is invited of course, so it will be a fantatsic celebration!! It's definetly our turn to enjoy our beautiful home and all the hard work that we put into it, and we would love nothing better then to share it with our loved ones.

    I never really ask for anything for Christmas (o.k....I have an obsession with a certain type of candle...but everyone knows that already, so no need to ask what to get me!!)..but my in-laws wanted to get me something that I REALLY wanted...and there was kinda one thing that had been on my mind for awhile...a video camera!! My Nikon was just-not-cutting-it when filming K's piano recitals, soccer, etc........I needed something better! I want to capture these moments now while she's still young so that we can sit back years down the road and look at just how awesome she was and has become!! Needless to say, I was THRILLED when it was one of the first gifts that I opened at their house Christmas Day!!! I haven't quite mastered it yet, not that it's rocket science or anything), but I'm going to sit down soon and read the book from front to back and fugure it out!!

  I hope all of you had as wonderful a Christmas as we did!! We are truly blessed, and spoiled. (with gifts and love!). Though we both come from small families we truly are showered with tons of love. I love our lil' family gatherings and it just goes to show that Good things come in small packages!! Right??? Right!!!
