So this year, Aaron and I spent the week of Christmas with Aaron's family. Since we weren't going to be home for Christmas, we had our own Christmas on Monday night! Sunday was spent wrapping the numerous gifts that had been purchased for family and for each other... there also may have been some white Russians consumed. Nothing gets you more in the mood to play Santa than some spiked milk! If only we'd had cookies too...
The family room felt very Christmas-y after we were done wrapping!
On Monday night, we sat down with some background music (Fantasia!) and opened our gifts! Gus and Lucy had both gotten some Christmas colored rawhides and Chrsitmas puppy cookies! They also got de-shedders, but they were far less excited about those...
Lucy ended up eating both of the cookies (on a towel because the food coloring in the icing bleeds on our carpets) and Gus enjoyed both rawhides. Oh well...
The original plan was to just open stockings on Monday and open gifts on Friday, but a few Christmas Ales later, I wanted to open everything! So we did!
I neglected to get a picture of all of our stuff. Aaron got me a beautiful necklace, a jewelry box, a Samsung tablet and cover, some Christmas movies, a Panera giftcard, a Starbucks giftcard, a Browns sweatshirt jacket, a Browns mini-helmet for my desk, and some Burt's Bees skin and lip stuff! I got Aaron new jeans, snacks (to fill the stocking), a FitBit, a tool chest, a tool box, a nuts/bolts/nails organizer, and the Beatles DVDs he'd wanted.
Needless to say, there will now be a strict budget for future gift-giving events...
Merry Christmas!
