Anything But Gray

The kids had a blast and we, of course, had a blast watching them!

For the first time they had just the right amount of presents. Honestly, typically, we go overboard and they….<sigh> get bored of opening gifts because there are so many.  So not cool. Could you imagine ? Getting so many gifts you get bored of opening them??? I can't even fathom it. Not even a little. lol. Anyway, this year….there was none of that. When they were done, they looked for more under the tree but were not upset to find nothing else. 

Ben got some very cool lego sets, more Bionicals than he can count, play dough and those fusion bead things from Santa, a couple of puzzles….and just lots of other fun stuff.

Jaime got a pottery wheel from Nana, some clay stuff from us,  a FLIP video camera from Auntie Ceci and Uncle JR that she will not put down! (I'll post some videos from it later….along with pics). a music cd she really wanted, a couple of games for her DS, some make up…….and more!

Mom got me a bottle of my perfume, which is a traditional gift and thank God because I've been out forever! LOL She got Zak a drill bit set and he is THRILLED with it, she also got him a little log cabin for the toad and he promptly used one of the bits to  make a hole in the log cabin for Libertoad to get in! LOL  NIki got me a cool year in review type book. I love it!

Ceci gave Zak and I some money for Christmas and I am so psyched. She gave us enough that we are going to be able to put the car on the road..FINALLY. And I got to buy some alcohol, so I can make some real drinks. I am honestly…so sick of beer! ugh!!! lol. I mean, I love my beer…don't get me wrong…..but I like my girly drinks too. 

Zak and I did not get each other anything and we are going to celebrate our Christmas in June. I cannot wait! We're gonna buy a little tree and put it up in our bedroom and everything. LOL Although honestly…..not having gifts, not getting gifts, doesn't bother me….it truly doesn't. Seeing my kids happy and being with family is really gift enough.

All in all….a fantastic and wonderful Christmas!!!

I'll post some video and pictures a little later!

Oh….and guess what I woke up to? Another order in my Etsy shop!!!! YES!!!!! 🙂
