We got lot's of great gifts and I LOVE not having to wait till Christmas day to open stuff. I am not much for surprises and I would just rather open up everything and have everyone open up my gifts as soon as we arrive...but unfortunately that's not how it works. I think I will implement some kind of tradition into our family that everyone gets to open up stuff early. At the Dirty Santa party we took a Ice Tea maker and ended up leaving with it, which I was very happy about (although I do not like stealing it back from people, secretly they hold a grudge and I haven't been in the family for that long). At his mom's side Derek and I got lot's of nice clothes, a gift card to O'Charley's (an excuse for a date night!), a cool picture which I am thinking about hanging in the hall, new pillows which are conducive to me sleeping like a baby...I love them! His brother and sister-in-law got us Laundry stuff which is great for us hobo's who have to take our laundry to the mat....and I feel like there is something else, but I can't remember what it is. Needless to say we LOVED all our great gifts and are very appreciative of everything we received!
Tomorrow afternoon we will leave for my parents house. I did some last minute shopping today for my sister and her baby on the way. I got the baby the cutest little corduroy overalls, a matching hat and a wiener dog shirt. Here's a pic...and don't worry, I don't think she gets on my blog.
Derek's mom asked me to put some pics of Christmas up, so here they are.
