Christmas Story 3

I think it was during an Andersen Girls outing or perhaps I was visiting with the Gold's but I guess I had mentioned that since I had been packing up the house to eventually move out to Reno and so would not being pulling out all the Christmas decorations. A week before Christmas I got a call from Jeff saying that he was going to bring over a fresh tree! It was beautiful and smelled so good--what a treat. It inspired me to go get a few decorations.

Here's Harley in his handsome fisherman cable sweater.

I think cause we've been apart so much this last year we went over board in gifts for Christmas! Here are some of Jamino's--new luggage, Cuisinart submersible mixer/chopper (it's pretty cool) a new electric razor, golf balls and an Xbox 360 with the bluetooth headset, rechargeable battering and charger, HDMI cables and . . .

The Gold's also gave us this beautiful HUGE Poinsettia

And as far as going overboard--Jamino did it too. He got me a Wii, Mizuno golf clubs (I can't wait for summer!) a DS and games, a really cool drying rack that I had been eying for a while and . . .

We made our FIRST fire in the fireplace--it was so warm and cozy,

we kept it going most of the day.

The day was so peaceful--we slept in, then made the fire and Jamino made breakfast.

After breakfast we opened presents and watch a movie (curled up by the fire). Later Mandee and Levi came over, we exchanged gifts and went to the movies. Such a relaxing day.
