Happy Day after Christmas!!!!
I had such a wonderful Christmas and it was so much better than Thanksgiving!!!
Andrew and I left Christmas Eve morning right after he got home from work. We finished wrapping up some presents and making an I.O.U. card for my mom because her present hadn't gotten here yet and then we hit the road. When we arrived in Dyersburg, we first went to Andrew's house and sat with Katie (sis-n-law) and then went to my house. I wish that everyone could see my dog when she sees our family's dog. They love each other. I'm so thankful that we have a dog that gets along so well with most dogs. Andrew and I then went back to his house and waited for his dad to get home after being on the road since Thanksgiving. We then attended the First Baptist Church's Service to see my mom play. My sister and I have a hard time sitting by each other because we get so tickled. At First Baptist, their music minister talks just like Matthew McCaunahey(sp?) and their pastor is just like that page from 30 Rock. Christmas morning we opened presents with my family and then we to my grandparents home for brunch. After brunch we went to Andrew's house for lunch/dinner. We were able to spend a lot of time with each member of the family.
Here's a list of my Christmas presents:
1. Heated blanket
2. Cozy Cuff-like a snuggie but better
3. Sweater
4. 1 scarf
5. 2 scarf
6. 3 scarf
7. 4 scarf
8. 5 scarf
9. 6 scarf
10. 7 scarf
11. Then my grandmother made us play dirty santa for a guess what?
8 scarf
The funny thing about getting so many scarves was that they were all those $5.00 ones from Wal-mart and I didn't get a single repeat.
I got other things too:
My parents gave Andrew and I the rest of the money we needed for the chair we put in layaway. Yay!!!
One of my favorite gifts was the Bible my parents got me. It's my Big Girl Bible because it has my married name on it and it has a larger font so that I can read it as my blindness progresses during life. It's really really nice.
Today, I'm spending my day after Christmas wrapped in my Cozy Cuff and watching Love and Basketball.
