Holiday Update

Ya, ya, ya I'm a little behind on the times. Now that I kind of know how to do the picture thing it just doesn't seem fun to have a post without pictures and I don't really have any to up date on so that's the explination of the lacking on the blogging.
So Christmas at our new little home was FANTASTIC! Tim and I really like Christmas. I had a co worker ask me if Christmas was fun with just 2 people. I quickly told him that it is a blast!! We stayed up late putting the finishing touches on our stockings and gift wrapping. Then we set out the stockings (very important side note...they must be covered with a blanket before the other person is allowed to set their stocking out so they aren't able to see what is in or with the stocking). We finally make it into bed. This year we fell asleep quickly. I woke up at 4:00 and was ready to go but I was nice enough to wait to wake Tim up until 7:00ish. We go out into the front room and unvail the stockings first. We go through those and see what Santa left us. Next we move over to the tree and open up all those gifts. Tim and I number our gifts. Crazy huh! We do this because there has to be an order to the way you open your gifts and when they are all wrapped up you can't tell what they are so you have to number them. We open our gifts one at a time to that way it lengthens the gift opening time and it's fun to see each other's response. Tim I got lots of great things. One of my passions in life would have to be children's books and this year I made out like a bandit! Tim got me lots of Dr. Seuss books. It is also tradition that he gets my some Curious George books so I also got a few of those. I also got some house decorations and clothes, some movies and CD's, some new stainless steel pots and pans, some plates, lots of treats, and soem other goodies. Tim got a couple pairs of Nikes, a Jazz sweatshirt, a Utes shirt (can you tell what Tim's passions are?), some CD's, the new Simpson's season as well as the first Simpson's season, lots of treats and goodies, and he got a large Prayer at Valley Forge picture. We had a great Christmas. Our families also gave us some more great things.
The day after Christmas we didn't have to work so we stayed home. We did go to a few stores and bought some Christmas/winter home decorations. We got some amazing deals! It was back to work on Monday. We both kind of had a short week though. We both left work ealy on New Year's eve. We went to the Utes vs. Gonzaga basketball game. It was a good game. It was the first game of the season that we went to. We got the tickets for Christmas. It was fun to get out and do something different. After the game we went home and watched some of the countdowns. As lame and old as we are we both fell asleep right before the ball dropped. Oh well! Tim is off on Friday's and I took the day off so we had another day home together. It was great! That did however make it hard to go back to a full week of work last week but we did make it.
Well that was a recap of our holidays. Lots of food, great times, family, and together time. These are a few of my favorite things!! Happy New Year!!
