Christmas 2009

"I wanna a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippotamus will do... " We found a Christmas hippo at Michael's, and it was ON SALE! Of course I had to buy it!

For Christmas, Jesse and I decided to buy ourselves a reclining love seat. It's beautiful and SOOOO comfy!

Imagine my surprise Christmas morning, waking up to find 4 boxes of chocolate cherries (this is lethal), a basket of lotions and powder, and a pair of diamond earrings!

This year we went to my mom's house for Christmas. It was a nice time together, and just the way I like it... QUIET!

The biggest surprise was Elizabeth (my niece). She needed a "time out" from Idaho, and since Arizona is closer than Michigan (and nicer weather), we made sure she had a place to stay (here, my mom's place, or with Linda). We were hoping she would make it in time for Christmas dinner, but the ride was a bit longer than we had anticipated. Any way, she got into Avondale around 7:30, starving, so we had to take care of that, with left overs from g-ma's house. It's been so nice having her around.

The day after Christmas we all went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakual." It was okay, but I like the first one better.

It's hard to believe that break is almost over. The time always flies by. I suppose it doesn't help that I've been pretty sick, and haven't been able to get much done. I went to the doctor again, today... Hopefully I'll feel better in the New Year.
