We had a successful Christmas! Our parents got along great, and it sounds like Scott's parents might be making a trip to the cabin for an ice fishing weekend in the next couple of months. His dad was really interested, his mom not so much, but we'll see if it happens. There were a lot of laughs and a TON of food! We won't be cooking for a week.
My parents loved our presents to them so that was great! My brother and his fiance gave us a Whirley Pop popcorn maker with theatre popcorn. I have wanted one forever and was going to put one on our wedding gift registry lol! They also sponsered a goat for a Maasai family in Kenya through Ten Thousand Villages, in our names. I think that was the best gift of all.
My parents got me a Sony E-Reader and I love it! I also got a gift certificate at Jysk (just like IKEA) and some money
I didn't get a tablet from Scott, but he just found one on dealfind today so I purchased a voucher with my Christmas money! It's a Google Android 2.2. Regular price is $399 and I paid $85, with free shipping! I can't redeem it until Jan 6 though. I will have it sometime next month! Anyways, now for what he DID get me ...
He gave me a gift certificate for Chapters/Indigo so I can buy some books, or get some for my new E-Reader! He also gave me a bath caddy thing that holds a book, because I always complain about my arms getting sore when I read in the bath lol! He also got my this big beautiful jewelry box I've been looking at every time we go to Costco! I just have my jewelry sitting all over the house because I have nowhere to put it. Now I do!
So now our company is gone and we can just relax. I think I will be laying on the couch and drinking water all day lol... Even our parents out-partied me last night
They were all still playing cards and drinking egg nog while I fell asleep on the couch with the dogs! Boy, I'm just not as young as I used to be!
