Christmas Eve - Tradtion Gifts!
Addyson eatting her "baby mum mums"
Eve dinner (Main course, Blak Forest Ham)
Merry Christmas! This year we just decided to stay home. Christmas Eve we hung out around home watching movies that afternoon we decided to go out and use our Christmas gift cards. I still have most of the money left on the one I was holding on too, but Josh, he spent his by getting a coffee maker like he has been wanting, and all the goodies to go with it. And surprisingly he didn’t spend all of it, I think we did good! We came home and started our dinner since we decided to take the invitation to The Anderson’s house for Christmas Dinner. Josh bought a black forest ham, he has been wanting to eat one for a long time, while it was cooking I made all the sides. Addyson sat in her high chair like a good girl and ate her “Baby Mum Mums” (which are great but mess for babies). We had a nice meal and afterwards we opened one present which was pajamas that we picked out for each other and we picked a pair out together for Addyson. I was so surprised by mine because they were pretty spendy and it was a nightgown ( I guess you could say) by Tommy Hilfiger. I ordered Josh’s offline from deer gear.com (his favorite website besides Cabalas) and we just picked up Addyson’s at the mall. She looked so cute in hers and I am so happy that Josh loved his, I was so nervous! After we got that done Addyson was ready for bed, it was almost 8 o’clock and she didn’t even make it for frosting cookies for Santa. After I got her down for bed, I got the cookies all ready for Santa, and did some last minute things, all while enjoying Christmas movies with Josh. We stayed up way late, almost midnight. Addyson woke up at 4:30 a.m. so we barely got five hours of sleep. Needless to say, we both need a nap. (which Josh is doing as I type this) Addyson is enjoying all the toys she has got, I have just washed and dried (yet to fold) her brand new clothes she got. I ended up getting some summer things since they were on sale at Macys for some of her presents and Santa brought her some long sleeved & short sleeved onesies along with a couple pair of pants. In her stocking she was surprised with snacks, a new sippy cup, hair bows (that I put in there, which I made) and some other little things. I am very thankful that our parents & Josh’s grandparents (my grandmother doesn’t celebrate Christmas because of her religion) got her some wonderful toys and movie. Josh’s parents got her some learning toys & a toy that helps you crawl & my parents got her Beauty and the Beast & some money that I have yet to buy her something with. Josh and I got each other a little something. We don’t need a lot, but the thought is always nice. I finally got an electric can opener. I can not live anymore with the manual ones and our good friends got us gifts, a doll for Addy, a new mixer & lotion for me, and money & body wash for Josh. Josh made us a good breakfast while I fed Addyson some applesauce. After all the commotion of presents Addy was ready for bed by 7 o’clock. I should have took my nap then but my stomach is really upset today. I don’t know if its because we aren’t home or what. Hopefully after I get Addyson all ready for the day I can go take a nap before we head over to the Anderson’s house for dinner. Sheri Anderson & her husband are very nice people, they would do anything for their friends, for all the ones in Josh’s division that want to come to her house for dinner are more than welcome. Our friends Ashley & Trevor are going to be there with their new daughter, Cassidy. I am excited to visit with some adults, I can only handle so much baby talk in a month. We are very excited to get out of the house, but I hope I feel better and I’m not miserable. Hopefully Josh cooked the Ham correctly last night. Not to forget about my Red Velvet Cake. I tried to make one, lets just say that its HORRIBLE. I neeed to work on that. I can’t even take a picture to put on here because its that bad, I want to throw it away but it does taste alright, the frosting turned out worst than anything I’ve ever seen, but that’s how you learn I guess, got to mess up sometime. One thing I am really thankful for is that my sister decided to come home for the holidays I told her now if I could just make it home it would be a great family reunion. We miss our families a lot, I hope next year we can spend time with them. We’re wishing everyone a safe rest of the weekend & the upcoming new year. I wonder how we’ll be bringing in the new year?
Just a thought.........
Many people get caught up in what they get for Christmas and how expensive or big it is. I, personally, don't really care about any present, how expensive it was, how big it is, or anything like that. You can always go buy what you want at the store if you want it. Growing up my parents always tried to do the best they can for us, I was happy any way as long as we were all spending time together (it felt to me we didnt spend ENOUGH time together) and thats all I needed. Oh and a trip to Grandmas to see our COUSINS :) That was always my favorite. But not going to lie it was always nice to get something but I hated going to school and EVERYONE bragging about what they got, was anyone BRAGGING about SPENDING TIME WITH there families? A BIG FAT NO! Josh feels bad for not getting me SOMETHING HUGE but I am really happy with what he got me, but I am more glad that he was here and not in a different state, or clear in the middle of the ocean. I hope I can teach Addyson how its not what you get that matters its who you spend it with, that does. Next year, I will just really love to be home for Christmas, it's been two years, thats all my greed!
A BIG THANKS TOO; G&G STUART, G&G MATTHES, The SNYDERS, GRANDMA PAT
