A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve I had the pleasure of going to a christmas party with Tyson, at his grandma's house. The evening was full of good food, games and presents. I was planning on watching the Muppet Christmas Carol when I got home but it was kind of late and the VCR recently ate Marry Poppins, so I didn't want to risk it:)

Then it was Christmas Morn.......... I woke up to find that Santa had left me "The World Wide Ward Cookbook" some Reeses Peanut Butter cups and an Orange.  My mom and I then exchanged gifts, She was more excited about the Red White and Blue popcorn I gave her then the Doris Day, Rock Hudson movie collection I got her (which we ended up exchanging for Australia) She got me a new shirt the book "501 Must See Movies" and a book of my grandpa's history. (I also got a Camera from my Dad) We then enjoyed a delicious breakfast of Eggs Whatever Caserole and Snog (Soy Egg Nog)

By this Point it was only 9:00am so I figured I might as well take a nap before I called Tyson, (who told me Christmas wasn't until 11). Yet much to my surprise he had texted me and asked me if it was christmas time. So I got ready and Tyson came over for our much anticipated gift exchange.

Tyson walked in with this small weird box,

I must admit I wondered what in the world was in there.  He handed it to me and told me I had to figure out how to open it....... wow that took me awhile. As I was struggleing to open my box I let Tyson open his Christmas Spoils.

Now I must go back in time a ways and tell you a little story, for the past few weeks I thought Tyson had my Christmas present hidden under his bed. A couple times I ran into his room and crawled down on the floor and pretended to peak under his bed to find the gift he was hiding.

So once I got the box open I found, some Hershey Chocolate Lipgloss, and a note.........

Then the Scavenger Hunt began!!!

A STRAIGHTENER!!!! Come to find out Breanna had no intention of going with me to Costco to get a Chi the whole time Tyson was researching and planning on getting me one. It is REALLY nice one too!

We visited with my family, went to Cameron's house to see what the kids got, and then to the Chillon to watch Andrew on his new scooter.

Then to the Fawcett's Tyson and I went. Much to my surprise Santa left me a stocking there too! We ate a delicious dinner of Ham, Potatoes and Rolls.....YUMMY! And Opened some presents. I recieved a really cute magnet board, jacket, gift certificate to Pizza Factory and a nail kit.

Chirstmas was a fun filled exciting day!! I loved every  minute of it. Thank you to those who made my Christmas a trully special one.

................... But the fun wasn't over............. The day after christmas I got a package from my sister Ronda. It has some scrubing things, hot pink rubber gloves and this cute apron.

Thanks Ronda!!! and family :)

Hair

Well my straightener broke....................... About a week ago now. I have been functioning without a starightener for a week now. It is rather sad!!! My friend Breanna promised me we could get Chi's at Costco after christmas for cheap so I am trying to hang in there!  My hair is actually rather cooperative, but still I miss the smooth sleek look the straightener provides........... oh woe is me!

Mr T turns #27

November 30, 2009 was a Mr Tyson's Birthday! YAHOOO!!!!!!!!!

He and I celebrated on Saturday the 28th because I just wanted to give him his present SO bad!
We went to the Pizza Factory and ate a Never on Sundae (if you don't know what that is you seriously haven't lived! They take a mini deep dish pan and bake a cookie in the bottom, they immediately take the cookie out of the oven and top it with ice cream and caramel and chocolate and whip cream........ YUMMY! Go get one right now!)

After that I gave him his present!

He was so excited about his new Monopoly Deal Game! It is a really fun game and a million times faster than real monopoly!

And then the best part.......

It looked SO SO Handsome on him, I love buying clothes, even when they are not for me:)

Happy Birthday Tyson! May your 27th year be your best!!

Roundin Up the Thankfuls!

Oops... I forgot to write some thankfuls on Thanksgiving! So I will now take the time to do so:) I had an amazing Thanksgiving, the best I have had in awhile actually. Over the years I have spent Thanksgiving in quite a few random places, Diana's house, Amy's in-laws house, and this year I spent it at the Fawcett house! It was wonderful, the stuffing was great, the company was great (though I wish Aunt Petunia could have made it! ;) )
I have recently had the opportunity to trully give some thought to what I am grateful for, here are the big things.....
1) The gospel: It ain't easy, it's not even fun sometimes! but ya know what, it is the best thing out there. Prayer is a wonderful thing. Lately it seems like when I am about to loose it or just go crazy, offering a simple prayer whether it is outloud or in my heart gives me almost immediate, and priceless peace!
2) My brother and sisters: It is a great feeling knowing there are 4 people in the world that still love me though they have seen me at some pretty ugly times:)
3) Friends: I didn't realize it til just now but, had I not been blessed with such good friends through high school and into my young adult life I would be a completely different person! Who in the world knows who I would be today had I not been blessed with good righteous people as friends!
4) Finally (and most importantly) My Best Friend, no one has EVER been so patient with me, so understanding, motivating and so caring towards me. I won't name names so as not to embarass anyone and I won't go into much more detail. But I will say, I am Most Grateful for you! <3
