Today I am thankful for my new family. We celebrated the Blair family Christmas yesterday. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with yummy food, lots of presents, and lots of laughs. I made my fabulous mexicorn dip which I have kind of become known for in St. Louis. I was able to use one of my new chip and dip trays that we got for our wedding. Then came time for presents. We will not have Peyton on Christmas so we brought all of his presents to MawMaws....holy crap that kid made out like a bandit. He received a tent and fishing gear from my Mama, his Grand C and Grand P, sleeping bag, lanturn, Xbox games, and model car from us, more model cars, a remote control car, a Cardnials world series sweatshirt and more from everyone else.
J and I decided to exchange presents as well...and he did good this year. He bought me a tennis racket and tennis balls....yes we have decided to take tennis lessons in 2012. A good couple activity that is healthy and I can hit balls at his head! I also got a portible XM radio for the car and a new game to play with friends and family. J got his beloved coffee grinder. I will say, one of my favorite presents was an ornament Ellen (J's sisters) made us. She took a glass ornament and filled it with cut strips from our wedding invitation. Very neat!
I am blessed to be a part of another loving family.
oh, what a cool ornament idea!
ReplyDeleteI debated tennis lessons in 2012 but think I'm doing belly dancing instead. I have some friends' with varied interest, apparently!
