First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderfully Merry Christmas. I know we did!!!
Friday night we picked up Kristie and Jonathan and headed downtown to the Target Center to see the Wolves game, it was a great game, but we lost… After we did some half price apps at Applebee's they were delish of course, plus it was the Bee's in block E so it was smoke free!!! So nice…
Sunday night we went to my mom's for our extended family celebration. We ate tons of hor d'uerves, they were so nummy, my mom even made homemade jalopeno poppers which were good but spicy… It was fun to see everyone and exchange gifts. My aunt gave me a $40 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond (which I used yesterday and got $80 worth of Christmas decorations for 1/2 price with the gift card- AWESOME!!!!) and Nathan got a shooting target metal thingy that spins when you shoot it to go with the new gun I bought him for Christmas, he was pretty pumped…
When we got home on Christmas Eve Nathan and I exchanged gifts, he gave me the most beautiful diamond necklace, I LOVE IT!!!! It even has an adjustable chain, which is so convenient. I hope all my future necklaces come with this type of chain
It makes it easy to adjust it to whatever I am wearing. He also gave me the big hot pink book of all 6 season of Sex in the City I am excited to continue watching where I left off in season 2.
Christmas morning we awoke and headed back over to my mom's for our family gift exchange and breakfast. My mom bought me the most awesome set of china, I am so excited because I had been wanting China. It's white with a platinum rim, so pretty and by Mikasa, she got a really good deal on it at Macy's. Nathan got more magazines for his gun, a bi-pod, a gun cleaning kit, and a book for his gun. He also got gun range earmuffs, goggles, and ammo from my sisters. He is literally all set for his gun stuff!!!
After our gift opening my Grandpa and his 'friend' came over and we had breakfast. My mom really went all out and made all of her awesome breakfast stuff, I swear my mom is the Queen of Breakfastses!!! My grandpa gave us a gift card to Best Buy and we also gave him card to Best Buy, lol.
After my mom's we headed to Nathan's Rents. We had a ham dinner there and enjoyed opening more gifts. His mom gave me the most amazing Christmas Tree skirt that she had made for me, it's gorgeous and looks so good underneath our tree, I really need to start posting more pics here to ya'll can see. They also gave Nathan his gun case that he had asked for, he totally loves it and is totally psyched. I also got some tupperware, king-size pillows, a rice cooker, an addition to my Scene-It game and some other fun stuff…
Anywho, I had Tuesday off too, it was so nice. So yesterday I did a little after Christmas shopping and picked up 1/2 off Christmas decorations. Nathan and I watched an old Bond movie and just chilled most of the night.
Tonight we are just chilling again. It's nice to have some time to ourselves and just keep it low-key after such a busy weekend…
We leave for our cruise in 2.5 weeks!!!! We are both super excited!!!
Also, our 1-year Anniversary is on Saturday, woo-hoo!!! I am so excited!!!
Anywho, hope all is well with everyone and your Christmas' were wonderful. Hope my little entry wasn't to much for ya'll I just like sharing everything we got…
