We had a pretty wonderful Christmas this year. Eric and I both spoiled eachother and that's kind of the fun of it. We usually spend a small amount of money and get a bunch of little gifts to put under the tree. We also then buy ourselves a "big" gift. This year we will be purchasing a couch when the weather cooperates for us to get out of the house and shop.
Eric got a couple books, a couple of movies (Casino Royale & The Big Lebowski), Toys (as usual), DC Vs: Mortal Kombat for the xbox and 3 or 4 new shirts.
I got a couple DVD's (Wall-e & Across the Universe), Two Cd's (Taylor Swift & Twilight Soundtrack), 3 or 4 books I wanted and a New Camera Case that I'm super excited about!
All in all, I can say we're blessed with all we have! We spent the morning opening gifts and playing with them. Once 4 o'clock rolled around I started to cook our Christmas supper which included Chicken breasts, Steak, Augratin Potatoes and Peas- we basically ate and watched movies all day. That's what a day off is all about after all!
It's been real hectic around work. We lost one of our Coworkers to suicide this week and continue to mourn our tragic loss. I can say that being on vacation this week has really helped me clear my head about it all but am looking forward to being back with my coworkers on Monday.
The "December Storms" have kept us indoors for a large part of December. Eric and I ventured out today to cope with our Post-Christmas depression and we noticed that we hadn't driven the car in the better part of a week. That's insane even for us!
We made it out to PetSmart to make sure our pets had some food. Aquaman was officially out when we left the house today. We spoiled them for sure like usual and it was nice to just be out and have some other human interaction! We had a nice supper at Lago Azul a local Mexican resturant we love and made a trip to the grocery store - so now we are owners of multiple cans of beans (for chili of course).
Either way you can tell we've had a busy couple of days just being together around home! I will miss the down time once work is back in session but getting back to "normal" will be wonderful.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time! What did Santa bring you?
Love - Abby
