A Very Merry Christmas

I Cant Believe it has already come and gone! Christmas was a whirlwind this year and we loved every second of it. I have to admit, when school starts this next week i am going to have a huge adjustment to make in my sleeping schedule. We have been up LATE this Christmas break {Mostly due to Michael Schoffield and Lincoln Burrows in the TV series Prison Break} and our habitual 3 am bed time, and Noon Mornings are going to catch up with us very soon. Until then, I'm going to continue enjoying our pre-married schedule! Cory has been begging me {Since I've met him} to sit down and watch Prison Break because he was convinced I'd love it. I think he's regretting it now. I'm Pretty much an addict and can not stop watching it and/or lusting after Michael. Which i can not understand how he didn't see that coming. Speaking of addictions, I've lost all family members to the 'Tablet' games {Slash & Sudoku} this week. I don't know what it is about these games but I think my mom and dad just might go buy another tablet because its just too hard to share! I've never seen my parents even play a game like these, let alone LOVE them.

 Even cola dressed up Christmas eve{she doesn't love it. Can you tell?}

We played our annual unwrapping game on new years eve. It requires wrapping 6 gifts {one for each person} about 20 times. Sounds fun huh? Ya its not but after the wrapping part, the playing part is totally worth it. Each person rolls dice and whoever gets doubles first, picks up the first gift and starts trying to unwrap it as fast as they can while everyone else is still rolling dice {looking for doubles}. Once the next person gets doubles they get to grab the gift and continue unwrapping. Whoever gets to the gift and through all the wrapping first gets to keep it. {Repeat for every present} 

Having a husband now is sure a benefit for me! I won Money and Cory won a Gas card. 

This is what happens when you leave the boys in charge of wrapping! 

We got completely spoiled this year.

AND....

I was Surprised with THIS ...

Coco Silver Kitchen Aid Mixer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been so excited in my whole life. I seriously thought i might cry and my husband didn't quite understand my excitement. Its funny how we appreciate different things isn't it? He Cant wait til morning to set up our new TV and Smart Blue ray  that he had to stay up til 3 am setting it up and plugging everything in.  I Cant wait to pull out this baby... not to cook {oh no} but to admire it. Rub it. Take Pictures of it. My Very own Kitchen Aid. Its like I am officially a married, adult woman now! Weird.  I'd like to think it'll make me a more productive wife as well ... right?
