| Here is my dad, displaying his "waiting hands" (nod to Ella) while he waits his turn to open his stocking! |
 |
| For my mom and dad, we're getting all our home videos transferred to DVD. |
 |
| Anna and I got a winner for our dad, which is not easy to do! He liked this fleece shirt so much that he wanted another one in a different color! |
 |
| My dad liked to tease me because one year when I was little, I opened a pair of overalls I really wanted and went running around the room with them on my head out of sheer delight. So here is my dad with his "Scouting Companion" book on his head. |
 |
| Syrup to accompany my gluten free pancake mix! |
 |
| Sassy vest from the store where Tina works |
 |
| SO stoked about my new bathrobe from Sue Sue! |
 |
| My parents truly surprised Anna, the secretary of the ukulele club in high school, with her very own uke for Christmas! |
 |
| My favorite Christmas gift...the Anne of Green Gables box set! |
Later, Davey and I opened our gifts from one another!
 |
| A belt! I'm super original! |
 |
| Dave overwhelmed me with a box full of sweet, thoughtful gifts. |
 |
| We continued our Christmas day movie tradition with Les Miserables. We had to buy tickets in Payson to avoid sitting on the front row! Seeing this movie was one of my biggest Christmas wishes. |
 |
| There were so many things about the movie that impressed me. It was realistic and raw and there were some excellent vocals. It was a little long for me, which is embarrassing to admit, but I really have a hard time focusing for that long, even on something I LOVE. |
The next morning, we hit the stores early for some...
 |
| This was the best deal of my life. I went to the register to buy my things and these black pants for work rang up as $0.01. One cent! Are you kidding me? I laughed and said to the guy, "I'm sure those aren't really one cent." He informed me that if they rang up that way, that's what they were. They came as surplus from the online store or something like that. I don't get it but I felt like it was Christmas morning all over again! |

That night, my dad whisked
my mom away for an anniversary trip to the same place they stayed
during their honeymoon 34 years ago! I took Anna up to my house and
Keiana came over for a sleepover.
 |
| These fav cousins got mistaken for sisters at dinner, which didn't surprise me a bit! Funny story: we bought Keiana a scarf for Christmas and had it wrapped
to give to her. When she showed up to our house, she was wearing the
EXACT same scarf that was in the box ready for her to open! Same store,
same color. We were shocked. We let Keiana pick something else out
while we were shopping that night |
