Chritmas Day

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

I managed to sleep in till 8:30am this year on Christmas! We woke up and got on to skype with my family in Ohio. I got to watch them open the gifts I hade shipped home to them. It was so nice to be able to see family even if I couldn't be there with them.

Epps was sad to see that the presents under the tree were preventing her from hanging out in her favorite hiding spot (under the tree.)

I love to see the tree with all the presents under it. The wrapping paper is so pretty!

The BEST stocking santa has ever brought me. Complete with Eclipse on blue ray, fuzzy sock, 2 pair of ear rings and real pearl necklace, Boincy putty and some headbands! GOOD WORK SANTA!

Mike with his stocking ready to go!

Epps loves bags. So naturally she spent most of christmas morning inside this bag with all the wrapping paper. I love my little kitties!

Me with my Chritmas gifts. I was most surpised by my iPod touch and, most impressed with the purse Mike picked out for me and my ugg slippers have become permanant attatchments to my feet!

I got 85% of these DVD's at Wal-mart on black friday for $1.98. Pretty good huh? Hurry for my growing DVD collection!

After we finished opening gifts we skyped Mikes family in Utah and watched our cute nieces and nephews open thier christmas gifts. It was fun being able to watch Mikes parents open the gifts we got them.

Following all our skyping we had the tradition breakfast my family has. Egg casarole, turnovers and OJ. It was fun to make that part of our little families traditions now.

The highlight of my day was my christmas phone call with my brother Bryant who is in Brazil. My family in ohio had me on speaker phone so I listened to the conversation Bryant had with the fam and got a lot of good laughs as it almost felt like we were all together again. Then a little while later I got a seperate phone call with him. It was so fun. I love that when we've had our phone calls for mothers day and christmas that it isn't awkward or weird. The conversation flows just like we were back in high school sitting on my bed, and the time goes by just as fast. It was hard to say good-bye but made eaier knowing we would be seeing eachother soon (March 10th!!!)

As hard as it was to get off the phone I knew that this is what awaited me down stairs. Friends, good food and beautiful china.

Cynda brought her 12 sets of china over to my house so we could eat off them on Christmas. It was really cool and made the table look soo much prettier that my brown dishes from Khols!

The Christmas buffet... So much yummy food!

Our Christmas Guests

So much fun having friends to spend the holidays with.

The dessert table.

Following a serious dish wahing party in the Kitchen we got out the desserts and ate even more food. Then we turned off the lights and watch Inception on bluray on our SUPER AWESOME new samsung, LED-LCD, 46inch TV... MERRY CHRITSMAS TO US INDEED!
