Christmas Time!

We spent Christmas Eve at Tiffany & Kyle's house this year.  We had a traditional Christmas meal and then played the Chinese Christmas game.  It usually doesn't get too intense, but this year people actually started stealing presents!  Once we left Tiffany's house, my family went back to our house and opened our presents with Kevin.  It was a nice time.  On Christmas morning, dad, had to work, so Mom, Michael and I went to my grandparent's house to have breakfast and open presents there.  Afterwards, I went to Kevin's house to open presents with his family.  Christmas afternoon, Kevin and I went to see a movie and just relaxed!  It was a great way to spend Christmas! I am so thankful! I'm not going to write too much more, but instead show you pictures.

The guys doing what they do best: guarding the food!

  Every year we are going to have a theme!

After Christmas, Michael, Kevin, & myself, went to Wal-Mart and Target to get their after Christmas deals.  It was pretty important to me because Kevin and I will be buying all the gifts, wrapping, etc. next year for everyone and I wanted to get it while it was on sale.  Here are the lovely purchases that I got:

Two hat boxes to store my ornaments in-$5 a piece



Santa cookie jar-$10

Holiday wreath-$10

Snowflake cookie plate-$5

Ornaments-$0.50 a piece



Wrapping paper (four rolls to a pack & I got four packs)-$2.50 a piece

Gift bags (10 to a package and I got four packages)-$2.50 a piece

Storage Tubs (I believe there are ten of them)-$5.00 a piece

Yesterday was FULL of wonderful holiday deals!  I have enough wrap, tissue, tags, boxes, etc. for at least two years! And the best part is...for all of it I paid less than $100! 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love and filled with joy!
