its the most wonderful time..

christmas was wonderful

minus the rain instead of snow
& i really spent too much money this christmas
..but..

i love giving

it makes me happy

so i don't feel bad at all for what i have spent

it's worth every penny to me

i suprised my daddy with a metal detector

he was like a kid scrambling for batteries right out of the box

and im pretty sure mama loves her bread maker too

it just seemed fitting for her

and im sure your wondering

garrett loved his gift

i knew he would

making it a success

im perfectly content without receiving

but of course

the people i love

share my love for giving also

i feel so spoilt

yet so thankful i have so many wonderful people in my life

who love me

so, so much

like

my sweetheart suprised me with car lashes!!
only kidding of course
he got me a camera
even better

i don't think he took into account the after effects of his purchase though

because last night i made him take a bizillion silly pictures with me

im pretty sure he realized he had created a monster

. i am a girl..

what did he think was going to happen?

christmas eve was spent watching my cookie faced nephew

race his scooter through meme's house

"it's okay, i have a scooter man"

oh, lets not forget watching cars 2 for the fifth time in a row
while aunt cowie attempted to make cake balls

they look great

but i don't have the patience to make them

ever, ever again

its like scrapbooking

i just don't have the patience for it

candy making, that is

christmas parties are the best

we played dirty santa at one of garretts familys house

i stole a candle that i didn't feel bad at all about stealing

because it smells amazing

and its called

"butt naked"

to which his mom states:

she has never smelled anything butt-naked that smells that good!

so it really felt like christmas this year

to me

next weekend we will begin a new year

so much has happened this year

i can't imagine what will be of 2012

i guess we will just have to see
