Christmas Eve

We had a crazy Christmas weekend! It was a whirl wind of running around all over but it was so great spending every minute of it together. I had to work until 3:00 on the 23rd, Pres picked me up from the bank and we headed to Shelley. We had a fun family dinner with the Littlewoods, eating lots of snacks and playing some games. We spent the night at my parents, and had a busy Christmas Eve afternoon. Preston spent most of the day with my dad and brother getting the snowmobiles ready forthe cabin. My mom and I had a lazy morning watching lifetime Christmas movies, and making food for Christmas. After a quick grocery shopping trip to get things for the cabin we headed home so we could spend our first Christmas at our own house. We had a delicious steak dinner, watched the Grinch, packed for the cabin, and each opened one present. I was going to make us each new pajamas but of course I procrastinated, so instead we just picked a present for each other to open.

this is Preston's amazing wrapping job, he's so thrifty he didn't want to waste the little bits of the other kinds!



ignore the ugly blankets hanging up Preston puts them up when he's watching tv or a movie because our blinds don't keep out any sun



Now our gifts aren't that glamorous, but we decided to do "little" gifts this year, so we could have a bigger Christmas. So Preston opened up a pack of pet hair lint rollers (he can't stand dog hair), and I opened up some new socks and tanktops! It was the perfect start to our Christmas
