We went into our unfinished living room and sat down in front of our first 'real' Christmas tree, and opened up all of our gifts before Leah woke up. Chris got sooo spoiled this year! I got him a super NICE GPS system (anyone who will ever go anywhere in a car with him will thank me) a new MP3 player, he got new Blackberry phone, that was supposed to be mine but I gave it to him. Yes, that does count as a gift because he did NOT need a new phone and he really wanted one. He also got some clothes and and an awesome digital tire gauge (it really is neat, it has a light at the tip of it so you can see where you need to put that thing, and an LCD screen I want one for my car!) A real nice watch from work,and a gift card to Olive Garden, Yum!
He really surprised me with the gifts he gave me this year. He gave me a book, The love letters of Emma and Joseph Smith(He knows how much I love anything about Emma Smith, so that was so sweet that he got me that) He also got me a new MP3 player, a car kit to go with it, a beautiful sweater, a purse, a gift card to Bath and Body works, a box set of all of the seasons of Arrested Development, and the one that surprised me the most... A new camera!!! I have been wanting a new one for just about forever, and he led me to believe that I wasn't gonna get one this year. He also got me a new memory card, a new case and an extra battery to go with it! I guess I was really spoiled too. He did an awesome job-love you Babe, thank you so much!
We couldn't wait any longer so we went and woke the baby up and the look on her face as she came in and saw all the presents and the pretty tree, was priceless! She was so cute. She actually unwrapped some of her gifts, and enjoyed doing it. She got quite a lot of gifts this year from us and Santa. But we did put a limit because a child doesn't need to get everything, and she was still gonna get stuff from other family members too. She got a bunch of Little People sets and lots of Little People accessories, lots of books, two CPK dolls, an awesome bath bubble color changer blower thing, a First Story Reader Book that reads to you and makes sounds from Baby Einstein,her first little purse set, puzzles, a pair of boots, markers and coloring books, and clothes, clothes and more clothes. We had so much fun watching each other open up gifts and seeing the look of joy on our faces!
After that we went up to my mom's to eat a yummy breakfast and open up presents there. Leah really got into opening up the gifts there! She got some really neat stuff. She got a vacuum, some DVDs, an outfit, a puzzle, and another CPK doll,an adorable baby buggy,crayons and coloring books! And more things that we didn't get a picture of. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma, you spoil her!
We then hurried over to Brandon and Kim's to open up gifts and go see a movie. It was a blizzard! You couldn't see anything! There were cars stuck on the side of the road. It was horrible. We made it to the movie and it wasn't all that bad. Aunt Kim and Uncle Brandon gave Leah a Drum set, a stuffed bear, a Dora coloring kit, and she also got two cute Care Bears from Ry and Alaina. Chris got an amazing gift from his brother Matt. Are you ready for it? Matt got him a new PSP! I actually think I saw tears in his eyes! I still cannot believe it. You can definitely say he was on cloud nine. Brandon gave Chris some really neat headphones to go with it. And Kim & Katie gave me a nice basket full of super nice beauty supplies, like lotion, body & lip scrub,etc. I love it! Thanks Kim & Katie. It was a lot of fun spending time with them.
Later we went to my sisters house for a wonderfully yummy dinner( Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole.MMMM, sooo good) Uncle Patrick and Aunt Angie and their family gave her a FurReal pet dog, Baby Einstein book set, and stuffed animals!
And Isabella made this beautiful card for Leah. It made me all teary! It is so sweet! Bella is so good to Leah.
Whew, that was alot to write down. We had such a great Christmas, and hope that everyone else did as well. Have a great New Years!
