Christmas

Did you have a nice Christmas? Are you wondering where all the days went? I did and I am. It's back to work on Monday already and the days were all just a blur as there was so much activity packed into our days. 

Christmas Eve:

I started Christmas Eve at my Aunt Terri and Uncle Ken's house in Somerset, Wisconsin. I don't hold anything against them for living in Wisconsin, as they are not Packers fans. :) It's also my Gramma's birthday on Christmas Eve so we celebrate that at the same time. We didn't do any type of gift exchange this year and presents were only focused on the kids. My Godmother Donna did get me a scarf, some gloves, earring and necklace and a cute little purse though. After Somerset, I went to Michael's brother Ray's house to celebrate with his family. I was part of a gift exchange with them and got everything I asked for....baking sheets, muffin pan, food chopper and a candle. Thanks Kim! I also got a gift card for Victoria's Secret and 2 candles from Michael's parent's sent from Florida.

Christmas Day:

My day started with a present from Michael.  I got Photoshop Elements 7.  I am very excited about learning how to use it better since I only had a 30 day trial of the product that expired in early December.  Thanks, Michael!  I then went over to my parents house for our family Christmas.  My sister and brother in law, nephew and grandparent's were also there.  Food sometimes looks gross when you take pictures of it and I hope the picture below does not come across that way but my parents made the best dinner ever.  Onion string-crusted chicken, twice baked potatoes, corn, salad and rolls.  Yummy!  I got many nice gifts from everyone including a scarf (I'm really into scarves this year), candles (love them), perfume, slippers, LOTS of stocking stuffers, cookbook, baking ware and even a lottery ticket for the big drawing on New Year's Day. My nephew actually let me take some pictures of him too!
