Christmas is over. . .

Hey Ya'll. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I did! :o) Wednesday night was Christmas Eve and we do what we do every year, go to my grandma's house. We ate (alot) and played some card games and opened gifts. From my grandma I got my Cricut, some boxers from American Eagle that I had picked out from the AERIE section, some clogs from American Eagle, a rotary cutter with a mat, and money. From my Aunt I got a Dallas Cowboys purse, some cricut accessories, awesome North Face clogs/slippers, and my coach purse. Do you guys remember my Coach purse I bought back in April and then realized that I needed the $300 more than I needed the actual purse, so i put it up for sale online. Well my aunt told me that one of my cousin's friends wanted to buy it. So she took it and then the next day brought me $225, which is what I said I would sell it for. Well that was in August so for the last 5 months thats what I thought happened to it. I start opening my christmas gifts and my aunt says "open this one first..." So I open it and its my coach purse. I'm like....what the hell? I was confused?? Did they go buy it from the store? Wait..is this MY purse? haha So she told me the story how her and my grandma just couldn't stand the thought of me selling it when they knew I obviously wanted it because I had bought it to begin with. haha So they made up the story that someone wanted to buy it but really they bought it. :o) I have the best aunt and grandma in the world. haha
Anyways...she got me alot of little accessories and stuff. Then she also always brings me a stocking over on Christmas Day and inside it was lots of fabric, thread, pins, candy, and a really cute Vera Bradley coin purse. I don't like Vera Bradley..especially for being 25...I think it looks like stuff only people like 40 and over would carry...LOL So I always made fun of my aunt when she would talk about it I would call her an old lady..until the other day I found a cute pattern that had an OWL on it. I wouldn't carry the actual purse..but I did like the little coin purse. So she bought it for me. It's super cute. We left my grandma's around 10:00 and got home and JC and I decided to open our gifts from eachother because we'd be kinda busy visiting family on Thursday. I got him a pair of camo shorts, some work jeans, movies, some awesome Dallas Cowboys playing cards, and a chainsaw. He was so excited. He's been wanting a chainsaw forever so that he could cut down trees and chop wood. I was really having a hard time buying it for him 1. because they're expensive and 2. because he is the most accident prone person I know. I'll I kept thinking was if he hurts hiself or kills hiself with the chainsaw I bought him, I'd never forgive myself. But I decided to buy it for him. He promises me he'll be extra careful. :o) He got me The Sex and the City DVD, some Cricut accessories, a clock that I wanted for our living room, candles, and the Arizona Wildcats sweatpants from the Victoria's Secret PINK University Set.

Thursday was Christmas we went and ate lunch at his aunts house with his family and then in the afternoon we went down to my moms house and ate and opened gifts. From my mom I got a crock/candle holder thing for my kitchen that matches all my BELIEVE stuff, a $100 giftcard to Wal-Mart, and two cartridges for my Cricut. Justin got some Carhart longjohns, house slippers, and a $100 gift card to Save-A-Lot. I'm super excited about the $100 gift card to Save-A-Lot. haha That's ALOT of groceries.

My dad is in Florida and I miss him alot this year. Christmas Day was also his 60th birthday. I sent him a card telling him how much I love him and how important he is in my life. I really wanted to spend christmas and his birthday with him this year and had planned it but with not having a job it is pretty much impossible. I talked to him on the phone for a bit last nite and he said "hey..with you not working and JC off for a couple weeks...why don't you guys fly down for a while and stay." I really wish we could.. but with him being off and me not having a job we just don't have the extra money for plane tickets. It kills me to not be with him on Christmas.
