CHRISTMAS TIME

I had the best christmas! Yesterday we spent the night at Wes' parents and went to candlelight service. I just wish during it Aiden wouldn't have been pressing on my organs, because sitting in those old wooden pews did not feel great on my back. Oh well I survived!

We had Christmas dinner with Wes' parents, his bro and wife and their little one Lily, and grandmother. And after the service we opened gifts. I got so many amazing, wonderful things that I didn't expect at all! Like my AMAZING Alabama blanket that Wes' mom made. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!! Will have this draped over me during the whole game!!!!!

My christmas ornament collection is growing!!! Yeah!!! Regina gave us the pickle ornament, which we are really exciting about and looking forward to playing when Aiden gets bigger. Wes got a Grinch ornament, bc he loves that Christmas movie. I'd say by far the best gift to me was the cookbook from Tyler (Wes' bro) and Ciarra. It's a Williams-Sonoma weeknight cookbook. I'm always looking for fast easy meals to fix during the week since it's always so hectic with work. The other neat gift from Regina, Wes' mom, was this memo board from Southern Living. I can't wait to host a party and use it! Then the FUNNIEST gift was from Wes' dad.....it was a level that had little things that make it easy to hang pictures. Definitely not what I expected, but something we soooo needed. Something Steve would so get us. lol

Even though my sweet parents didn't spend christmas with us this year they gave us amazing gifts! 600 count Sheets for our bed!!!! Only wish I could actually sleep now to enjoy them....They also gave us a camcorder! We will sooooo be using that when Aiden comes. That way I can send them everything since they don't live here in Memphis with us. Plus I have to make those embarassing home videos for Aiden to show his future girlfriends. lolol I know I'm evil, but hey that's what parents do. Embarass their kids. ;-) Next year though we will be at my family's house, which will be fun bc Aiden will be here.

Last but not least, Wes gave me the sweetest card. I love him so much! Definitely knows how to make me smile. I gave him some new jeans and a sweater from Express, which he looked hot in. lol He gave me some stemless wine glasses....which I can't use yet, but once I can I'm looking forward to that nice glass of wine. The new Sugarland CD, which I love and I see myself jamming out to it while getting dressed and cleaning. lol nice image huh?! New cookie sheets, bc my other one was looking rough. And the best part DISNEY DVDs!! I'm a huge collector and you'd be amazed what I have. But it's what I grew up on and want Aiden to be watching. I also already have all the Carebear episodes and Smurfs for him too.

Well I'm exhausted.....the past 2 nights I have been tossing and turning and been soooooooooo uncomfortable. Looking forward to tomorrow ornament swap with ALL of Wes' family!!
