3 days before xmas, a small jewelry sized box showed up under my tree... hmmmm
christmas eve started pretty early for us. i volunteered us to wrap presents at the mall for habitat for humanity. wrapping presents is one of my favorite things about the holidays, so i thought this would be perfect for us, plus they were short handed of volunteers on xmas eve and we didn't have anything else to do. we got home and rylan started talking about our yearly tradition of opening one present on on xmas eve. so i picked one out for him and then (being a typical girl) grabbed the small box. i opened it up, and he had bought me tickets to see twilight at 7:30. now i know im totally geeking myself out by admitting this, but i loved those movie tickets more than i wouldve loved jewelry! hahaha (oh and by the way, for inquiring minds, rylans early gift was the dark knight on bluray). i made pot roast for dinner! it was awesome, if i do say so myself. i guess i can add that to my list of things i can make.
we got up early this morning to open gifts. we made out like bandits, considering we didn't really know what to ask for. rylans parents bought us a 32 inch flat screen high def tv (awesome!). rylan got me an ipod dock with speakers for the kitchen. blaine and ginger got us gift cards to 3 different hamburger restaurants around town, as did nicki and jim. andrea got me a "wicked" puzzle! we got books and clothing. excellent! excellent! nicki and jim adopted us for the second christmas in a row. we headed over there around 10:3o am. we ate good food, enjoyed wonderful company, and played wii bowling until my arm almost fell off! i'll admit it didn't feel like christmas without our own parents, but they are the best second family we could ever dream up! oh and to get back to my first statement about warm, it was 79 and sunny in good ol' Savannah today. if we didn't have plans with the hansens, we'dve been at the beach!
hope everyone had a very merry christmas!
