Christmas Day

Christmas morning we woke up and headed downstairs where we ate breakfast before heading into the living room to open presents! Roy had a migraine so he was drugged up but still managed to stay downstairs with us until we finished opening presents. 

We had such a wonderful Christmas!! Justin had been telling me over and over we weren’t doing presents because we got our new phones (Santa came early). So I had gone to Academy and got him some Nike sweatpants & two work out shirts just so that he had something from me that he didn’t know about. He kept teasing me that he was giving me contact solution (we needed some). Well we are all opening presents and enjoying each others company and I open a giant bag with a tiny box inside. A jewelry store box inside. I started freaking out!! He got me a pearl ring!!! It is BEAUTIFUL!! It has a pearl in the middle with two stones on either side. He said that the pearl is bean and the stones on the side are us. : ) He tricked me good!! I was thrilled & so so so excited!

Everyone kept opening presents. I love Christmas morning! Watching everyones faces as they open their presents and the surprise. Here are some photos of everyone opening presents…

Roy & Jessica opening presents. As you can see, Roy was not feeling too hot. Lots of pain meds and he was such a trooper.

Mom got Dad a “head light” for when he goes into the attic to look for stuff. We laughed and laughed when Dad put this on. Hahaha! Grandma asked for notecards from basically everyone so she had quite the stash of notecards by the end of Christmas morning.

This bib Grandma made for bean. He will NOT be wearing it (I don’t wanna ruin it) but how neat for him to have a home made bib from his Great Grandma.

Grandma gave Dad her Dad’s cuff links. They were really cool and you can tell by looking at them they don’t make them like they used too.

Kingwood Christmas (150)This is how Pip spent the morning. Cuddled up in between mom and me sleeping. And as I am writing this he is doing the exact same thing right now next to me on the couch. Lazy dog…

And to top off the morning I open another big bag that has a camera case & memory card in it. I was excited but a little confused. Justin goes oh yeah…open this one and hands me another box! I am like YOU”VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I was crying just about my ring let alone anything else. I had been talking about how I wanted a point & shoot that I could throw in my purse/diaper bag that has video. I didn’t want to have to carry around my 50D in my diaper bag. (it is super heavy). Well I open up the package he has so carefully wrapped and inside…A cannon powershot sx230hs!!!

OMG! It is SUPER nice- way nicer than the one I had shown him and basically has all the same settings that my big camera has!! I was in heaven!! I have never felt more spoiled in my life! Between Jessica & Roy getting me new TOMS, Mom & Dad getting us clothes, magic bullet, etc. and Justin getting me a RING AND A CAMERA!! : ) I am so so so so blessed!!

After presents we all sat around and relaxed. Literally Jessica & I ate Christmas lunch in our PJ’s!! UN HEARD OF! Normally we put a cute new outfit on and get all dressed up. Not this year. We lounged around and just enjoyed each others company. The afternoon came and after our big Christmas lunch we all took naps before getting up just to eat again. It was the laziest I have ever been on Christmas but it was so nice. Next year we won’t be able to be so lazy all day. : )

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!
