The BEST Christmas Ever.

I. LOVE. CHRISTMAS. I also love the spirit that Christmas brings. This year was such a fun year with two kiddos enjoying and learning all about Christmas, and the excitement that it brings! Braylee was into her sucker more that anything else but she still got pretty excited :) I made her a doll for Christmas and I hope that she has it forever. I want her to remember me some how :) Not that it will last forever, but at least she'll probably have it in parts! ha!

Brody was so so cute!. He only asked Santa for one thing this year, "A gun with a polster (holster) and a belt from the animal store (Sportsman's Warehouse). He wanted that gun pretty dang bad. And he knew exactly which one it was. So there was NO trying to sneak in a cheaper one. We made him wait till the last gift to open it too. When he opened it he shouted, "He got it for me Mommy! Santa remember!" It was darling!. Grandpa Bunny got him a remote control car. Brody had never expressed any interest in wanting one but when he opened it exclaimed, "OH Thank you! Just what I have been looking for!" We all burst out laughing!

I got super spoiled this year! Derek was so good to me! I really wanted my talented husband to make me the pottery barn farmhouse bed frame and this is what I got.....

 

Pretty AMAZING huh? I absolutely love it, and have been working on painting the wall and a new comforter to finish it off. He spoiled me with a massage, facial, pedicure, Ipod/Iphone dock, rotary cutter and mat, and some other odds and ends. Needless to say, I was a happy wifey!

Derek always guesses what I get him every year. It is super annoying. Cuz he is always right. So I tricked him this year.... It sort of back fired on me ...LOL. So I asked him what he wanted he listed off a few things and one of them was a new wedding ring (he has lost 3 now). So about a week before Christmas I started slipping him hints. I kept saying things like, "your gift comes in a really small package" etc. So Christmas eve we were both busy wrapping gifts in different rooms, got into bed, and he goes, "Sorry Sarah, I saw what you got me, Thank you for the ring tho, I'm gonna love it!! I pretended to get upset and said, "Derek! Why did you go in there????" He said, "I didn't, HA HA!, You just gave it away!!!" He really thought I had gotten him a ring now. He had convinced himself that's what it was. SO Christmas morning I set his REAL gift out, and told him he might as well go open up his ring. It was in a small package that looked like a ring case. He opened it up and it was a Ipod shuffle touch. He acted disappointed it wasn't a ring......LOL! Needless to say he LOVES his ipod, but got a ring the day after Christmas! ha!

Before church we let the balloons go up to heaven and wish Jesus a happy Birthday :)

 

We went to church and had an amazing rest of the day with our little family. We are so blessed!
