Corey Smith

Grant got us tickets to the Corey Smith concert this year and we had a lot of fun but missed my best friend and her husband this year. But we for sure will all be together again next year.

“Oh wait its Christmas morning wait no it’s a Tuesday night”

We decided to wait until Sarabeth and Scott returned from Texas to do Christmas. We all went over to my parents house and had wonderful laughs and talks before a delicious meal made by my wonderful mother. She had help from all of us though!! After dinner we sat down to open all the many gifts. We were truly blessed this year with all the gifts from my parents. I surprised them with a special gift. I gave them a turntable and Ipod. The turntable is so cool you can take your records and transfer all the songs to your ipod. They really enjoyed it!! Charlie got gift cards to purchase him a TV!! Sarabeth and Scott got AU/ARK car tags. And my big gift from my parents was a painting class at the Chalk Paint store!! Im so excited about it!!

Christmas Day

We woke up to a beautiful raining day!! Grants family started a new tradition last year where they go to IHOP for breakfast and so that is what we did. We had a delicious meal then headed back to his other grandparent’s house to open gifts with them. They do it a little different then I am used to they pass out all the gifts and then go one by one in opening all the gifts. It was a lot of fun and I got more than I could imagine from both sides of Grants Families!!

After celebrating with them I headed to the Movies to meet my parents for a mini Christmas celebration. We saw War Horse and then headed to my parents house for dinner and another movie!! We watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas and at a delicious meal of pizza. It was a great night but we missed two very special people SARABETH and SCOTT!!

Christmas Eve Events

Christmas Eve was a great day of wrapping and relaxing!! I then went to the Christmas Eve Service with my parents at our Church!! After church I headed over to Grants Grandparents to celebrate with them. We had a lovely meal and enjoyed playing dirty Santa. Grant got a jar of Apple Pie and I got a cute salt and peppershaker as a birdhouse. After we left there we went to Grants mothers house for our Christmas with them.

Mom’s tacky sweater and stocking gift

My mom needed a tacky sweater for another work party of hers so I searched and searched for one but couldn’t find anything cute so I decided to make one. I also made her a gift to take. Here is the sweatshirt and stocking.
