First off lets start off with the Christmas. I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas, I know I sure did!! We did the usual we got started the Sunday before Christmas with my grandmother. We first went to the Christmas Play at Church. In which my mother and grandmother gave me a guilt trip into singing in the choir, I don't really sing but my grandmother said that "it would just mean so much to her if she could see me singing in the choir", so of course I did. Who can say no to that quote LOL!! Then we had a huge meal and hung out with the family and opened the first of many presents to come.
Next came my Dads family Christmas on Monday night. I had decided before hand that I wasn't going to go because of reasons that you would just have to know my family for, but at the last minute I changed my mind..well not really. Jesse just said that he thought we should go so we did. It was a really quick dinner but in the end I am however, glad that I went.
Then the rest of the Christmas activities got started on Christmas Eve. We went to Jesses Mawmaw Bakers and had another huge fantastic meal. We watched all the kiddies open their presents then we jetted over to my parents house where we opened presents and played cards for a short bit...but I was loosing tremendously so I quit and went home to clean my house to prepare for my Christmas Party at my house the next day (or so I thought).
So then I woke up the next morning and Jesse came in the bedroom and was like "do not get up until I come get you" and I could hear him in the living room wrapping presents...LOL!! He always makes fun of me for procrastinating but I had to laugh that he was wrapping presents Christmas Morning!! So I got up and we exchanged our gifts to each other...of course our Christmas was our new TV, wii, and play station 3. But he got me a book that I wanted, some stuff from Victoria Secret, and he did really really good on my stocking. I just love it when he does the little stuff that always counts way more than the bigger stuff :) but anyways by this time there was a TON of snow on the ground and we headed out to his parents house. There we had a fantastic breakfast. Homemade biscuits and grits and gravy are the best :) Then we all exchanged gifts and hung out until we all had to part ways on to the next place to go.
Like I said before I was planning a Christmas Party at my house for my parents, grandmother, Toni and derrick and my 2 great aunts. I had so much food I was so sad that the snow canceled those plans. So Jesse and I made my grandmother, and my aunts little plates that had Red Velvet Cheesecake factory cheesecake, Lemon Bunt Cake, and other goodies that I had made along with their presents and we went and visited with them for the most part of the day. Then my parents and Toni and Derrick came over and we gave Madison her present. and we ended the night going to bed early because I was so tired from all the running that we had to do that day. Then I spent the rest of my holiday break with this awful sinus infection that kept me on the couch for 3 days. Being sick is the worst :(
Here are a few pics of Christmas, I forgot my camera so I only have what my sister took :(
So on to our New Years Eve plans. We had plans to go to Justin and Heathers house and spend the night to ring in the New Year. We had TONS of fun!! We had everyone playing Just Dance 2 on the wii, we had corn-hole boards which I do not really participate in. I just can't grasp why anyone in their right mind would want to throw bean bags at a board but lots of people just love it including my husband, and then they had tons of food and some good Beer Pong Games which I also did not participate in because Beer is disgusting. Then we rang in the new year dancing it away!! Totally fun....until I was ready to go to bed and everyone else wasn't. So I got to stay up until 7AM and I got to sleep until 9:30 AM...that really wasn't that much fun :( I def. am getting way to old to be up that late :)
Then I got up and went to IKEA and gah I just love love love that store. I spent like all day in there and got a TON of stuff. I got some curtains for my bedroom, some pictures, some throw pillows, and new lamp, a bookcase, a coffee table, some candles, candle holders, and alot of other random stuff that I ran upon that I needed!! Great great store and I cannot wait to go back!!!
Here are some pics from New Years EVE thanks to Dawn for sharing on Facebook:
