    Merry Christmas everyone!! 

     

    1. who did you spend Christmas with? we had to change up our usual christmas plans b/c my mom and aunt had to work christmas day (silly hospitals).  We went home and visited w/ tons o' people. One dinner with my grandmother's side of the family (about 50 folks) and then Christmas eve lunch w/ my granddad's side of the family (about 40 folks). Christmas eve morning w/ my brothers, their 'others', my mom and nephew. Christmas eve night w/ my siblings/mom, aunts, uncles, cousins and granny. Then granny cooked me and my brothers breakfast this morning before we left town. dh and I drove home, stopped by to see the in laws and hurried home to see the SNOW! we've spent the rest of the day cuddling, playing in the snow and opening our gifts to each other.

    2. what did you eat?  We had lots of diversity. :) We had 'party foods' chips, cheese dip, meatballs, soups, sandwiches, etc. Then 'traditional' foods, ham, turkey, dressing, mac n cheese, etc. Grill out last night w/ hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, pot. salad, chips. Traditional breakfast this morning and dh & I had chinese tonight!

    3. what was your favorite gift received from anyone? I got a really neat Home economics book from my mom. It pulls information from books from 1900-1940 when women were really 'schooled' in the sciences of homekeeping. It has everything from the different cuts of meat, to mending clothes, to getting different types of stains out of different types of fabrics, etc. I love it! She also got me a Shark steam mop. I've always wanted one since the majority of our house has hardwoods. I plan on trying it out tomorrow.

    4. what was your favorite gift received from your hubby? Hubby pulled from my wishlist, so I love it all :) Subscription to Martha Stewart Living (i love that magazine and have never had a subscription), adapter that will let me hook the laptop up to our tv so I can watch hulu in the living room!, this le creuset loaf pan, and this new attachment for my mixer. It scrapes the sides and bottom of your bowl for you!

    2. what did you eat?

    Christmas eve we ate rolls, corn bread, pinto beans, ham, turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, green beans

    3. what was your favorite gift received from anyone?

    gift card to target (love that store). I think my brother is sending me a Christmas gift of some of their wedding pictures (hopefully I won't look too horrible in them).

    4. what was your favorite gift received from your hubby?

    all of them, but my favorite was the cricut cake. Can't wait to start baking and decorating. It is like the cricut, but you can cut designs out of gum paste, fondant, cookies, etc. I found a really good receipe for marshmallow fondant that is suppose to be yummy.

    1. who did you spend Christmas with? Went to DH's parents for breakfast and went to my aunt's house for dinner with my whole family.

    2. what did you eat?  What didn't we eat??  My aunt always goes over the top with her family dinners.  This year we had:  antipasto, manicotti, meatballs, sausage, salad, beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and corn.

    3. what was your favorite gift received from anyone? My Nikon Coolpix camera from DH

    4. what was your favorite gift received from your hubby?  Hubby got me 3 great things that I really loved.  Although I probably loved the camera the best (can't get enough pics of Andrew!), he also got me the slip-on, backless Uggs.  That gift was a total surprise and I LOVE them.  But I think the most thoughtful gift  that he got me was a birthing (yoga) ball.  I had mentioned to him only once that my OB thought it would be a great idea for me to use this during labor since I am trying for a natural birth and he went out and got one for me.  I thought that one was really sweet!  I was very spoiled this year and extremely grateful for everything : )
