Reflecting on the Holidays

Sorry there have been no updates for a while...the holidays kept Jason and me hopping from one thing to the next!


On Christmas Eve, Jason had to work for a few hours, so we got up early to open our presents to each other. Jason bought me a lovely necklace...I think you'll see why I like it so much!

I got Jason a GPS. I got it several weeks before Christmas, and put it under the tree as soon as it was wrapped. Jason picked up the box to examine it and immediately guessed it was a phone. He waited a few seconds and then said, "No, wait, it's a GPS!" I was super disappointed that he guessed right away, and he was very cocky because he has some weird ability to correctly guess gifts. I decided to see if I could take him down a notch. Sooooo.....

I found a box almost exactly the same size as the GPS box and packed a nose hair trimmer in it, along with some rolls of pennies for weight. I then unwrapped the GPS very carefully, and rewrapped the paper around the new box. Then I wrapped the GPS inside a larger box and hid it at the back of the tree. Here's Jason when he opened it....

I wish I had got a picture of the look of total confusion on his face that came before this (when he saw the pink Precious Moments box the nose hair trimmer was in!) After I stopped laughing, I let him open the real GPS.

Oh, and yes, we did dress Edgar in a Christmas sweater for all the festivities!





After Jason got off work, we drove back to Missouri for a few days and celebrated Christmas with our families. We had a wonderful time (except for the last night we were there, when we came down with some sort of flu virus and spent the night making trips to the bathroom). Our New Year's Eve was laid back...we just stayed home and watched TV. I had a very relaxing break overall (most of my free time was spent reading....I finished the whole Twilight saga! I could not put the books down! I went right from one book to the next until I read them all. I saw Jason shaking his head a lot at my Teen Fiction Nonsense!!!) I guess it's time for me to leave the world of vampires though, since tomorrow it's back to work...
