Our 'first' Christmas-2011


This year our Christmas took place Christmas Eve Day.  Actually, we did our stockings Friday night; so I guess it actually started then.

 C had quite a few things in his stocking; Daddy had an OK amount.  I had A LOT--of all the same thing!  C got 2 Cars2 cars, a Lego separator, a light switch cover for his room, and a water gun.  Daddy got an iTunes gift card, some mini Colts dry erase boards, and a water gun.  I got a package of Andes thin mints.  Yum!  They are awesome frozen!

Christmas morning, we opened our presents upstairs in our bedroom.  For a few different reasons.  #1: the dog wouldn't bother us  #2: it was warmer up there  #3: my biggest present was already up there in our room  #4: Kalei's little tree was set up in our room  #5: I wanted something different

My large gift was the brown chair that now sits in our room.  I call that corner my Kalei corner.  I also got some new comfy pants, a new candle, a back scratcher, some soft socks, a FSU shirt, and season 10 of Friends (finally!)

Daddy got a microphone stand for Rock Band, a new PS game, the most awesomest camera tripod, a photography book, a new puzzle, some Starbucks K Cups, and a new CD.

C got: some new Star Wars guys, a Star Wars movie, a microscope, some new video games, a movie, some FSU golf balls, Cars Movie Cars, and a pillow that my Mom made him out of some of my Dad’s clothes (Such a neat idea; I’m jealous)

And we all got a Kalei cup like these.

After we opened presents and ate, we went to see Kalei.  I had made a Christmas wreath to put on her stone.  I really like how it turned out. It’s so her.

From there we went to J&T’s house.  She cooked us a big “Christmas” dinner.  After we ate, we just sat and talked.  We haven’t done that for a long time.  It was a nice way to end an emotional day. 

BUT:  it wasn’t over. That’s when M and her familycame and caroled to us

All told, we had a good Christmas.  In fact, C said “This was the best Christmas.”  But then paused and said “Well almost.”  Breaks.  My.  Heart.
