WOW,…have the last few days flown by. I hope to really relax tomorrow…LOL!! Not like I am capable of that anyways. I am always on the go! But I do plan on going to bed early tonight and reading.
FRIDAY…..
BIL (Steve) came over and watch the Football game with hubbby. I got a good nap in. We had a 18 pound turkey, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. We opened presents from each other….
TOMMY – received a Leap Frog Letter Phonic Fridge Magnet (we plan on working on id letters in the new year), Blue CLues Computer Game and a Rescue Hero from Mom and Dad. He got a Jamie Lee Curtis book for Josh.
JOSH – Leather Jacket and small brain teaser thing from Mom and Dad
ME – Hubby and I have for a few years been setting a dollar amuont for our gifts. We usually set it really low and either make each other something or something. I sort of did this cuz my hubby would buy we wildly expensive gifts….he jsut loves me alot!! LOL!! So we set limits…and it has been alot of fun and creative! This year our limit was $20.00. He gave me a Cookbook Breakfast and Brunches and a gift box of chocolates. The Chocolates are meaningful as when pregnant with TOmmy I was diabetic and the nurse while I was delivering went home and came the next morning and gave me this chocolate and said, once you have this baby you can have this chocolate. So hubby gave me the same chocolates to remind us of that amazing day of such pure happiness when Tommy was born….. In my stocking he gave me a small music box that played the processional from our wedding…..the other day he wanted to remind me of…..he is so wonderful. Josh gave me a Yankee Candle…..peach scent….YUMMY!!
HUBBY – I gave hubby a note about our future and how we will be the young couple in love able to do things togehter without finding a babysitter…..so as a peek into that future I gave him tickets to a local playhouse to see the play Proof. Us out alone…with no kids. A rare treat! Josh gave hubby a gift certificate to Half Price Books……a favorite Sunday afternoon haunt of ours.

STEVE – We gave my BIL the book Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
ERIK was at his mother’s house this year for Christmas so he will get to o-pen his presents at New Years when he is here next.
Then we rushed off to the Candlelight service at Church. Lovely service….sad that I couldn’t sing since I have no voice. I love to sing all the Christmas Chorals! We got home after 10:00 and got everyone ready for bed. I have turkey to cut up and put away and we had Santa toys to put together….that took until 1:00am. Hubby was tired and had a headache….so wasn’t what he wanted to be doing. But he did it for me. Gotta love him! My BIL stayed the night and we all called it a night!
