Christmas
I wish it were still Christmas. I had an awesome Christmas!
I made myself a big breakfast (eggs, bacon, and biscuits) and then we opened presents. Shane got me 6 new cookie sheets and a cover thingy, a Wii game, the grater plater, a new electric toothbrush (which was scary at first, but now I love), AND best of all... he got me the boxed set of the Twilight books... all hardcover... Totally awesome. I brought New Moon to work with me today, and I'm going to start reading it at lunch time.
We went to my parents house for dinner. Had turkey, ham, broccoli, green beans, mashed potatoes, bread rolls, cranberry mold (haha), corn and I had three different types of wine with dinner. Van made fudge which I sampled before going to Aunt Theresa's for dessert.
Got a ton of presents. My new Coach purse (love love love!), tons of gift cards, some games, a piece for my nativity collection, a new shoe calendar, $400 cash from the grandparents, and I'm about to send off a $4,000 contribution to my IRA. Since retirement is still a long time away for me, the immediate benefit is the nice tax deduction I'll get from that :)
All in all, I'd have to say it was pretty awesome. I vote for another Christmas on 1/25.
