All in All a Great Christmas

It's hard to believe that Christmas is here and gone already. We were crazy busy. Jimmy and I both have been off since Wednesday. On Wednesday night we headed to the farm for Christmas eve dinner with my family. We had a nice meal with the family and enjoyed opening presents with the family. My mom got me a TomTom GPS, was not expecting that. We then came home so we could spend Christmas morning here at our house. We woke up early and opened presents with our baby. She enjoyed opening presents. Jimmy got me some diamond earrings, a new digital camera, a bath robe, jewelry box, and a rain check for a Wii. He also made me this beautiful,

hehehe, man (which we named Chuck Norris). After we were done opening presents here we headed to his parents for dinner with the Keller family. Had a fun time with the girls.

On Saturday Jimmy and I went to my dad's side of the family with my brother. We had a nice dinner at my aunt's house. It was really good seeing everyone. Wish we weren't so busy and could make it down there more. On the way home we met my mom and Kris, and Kris came home with us.

On Sunday my mom came up to do some shopping at Kohl's and then we met Jimmy and Kris for dinner. My mom took Kris back home with her after dinner. That pretty much sums up our Christmas season.

Now we are just enjoying each other's company till the 5th. We both have off until then. Nothing really planned, just taking each day as it comes.

Tabber Loves the Holiday Season

Tabber loves playing in the snow!!

She also loves helping Mommy wrap presents.

Nap

I caught Jimmy and Tabber taking a nap on the couch. Too cute!!!

Gotta Love Giant Gas

We do most of our shopping at our local Giant and as many of you know when you purchase items you get a point for every dollar you spend. Then you can use all your points towards money off at Giant's that have gas. Our local Giant doesn't have gas, but there is one close to the school that does. What makes our Giants up here rock is that we save $0.10 per gallon for every 50 points we earn. Most Giants you save $0.10 for every 100 points. We had spent so much money that we could get $1.80 off a gallon.





On Saturday night before we went to the lights we went to Giant with Wendy because Saturday was the last day to use the points. Some Giants will let you fill up more than one car, some won't. We weren't sure about ours, but we did it anyway. Gas was $1.75 a gallon so we were making out. We filled up our car, and then we had Wendy pull up so we could fill her car up. The meter said we were going to be charger $0.01 a gallon, and when Jimmy finished filling up the cars it said $0.03, but it never charged out card. On the receipt it said we saved $49.01. We were pretty pleased about that. If we had filled up both cars and had to pay full price that's how much it would've cost.

Another Busy Weekend

We had a fun filled busy weekend. On Friday, my girlfriend Katie came over and we watched Elf and hung out. Elf is my absolute favorite Christmas movie. It was nice getting to chat with Katie and catch up since we haven't really hung out since the semester ended.

Saturday, Jimmy and I got up early and did some cleaning around the house before Wendy and the girls came up. Once the girls got here we hung out for a little bit and then we went to Applebee's for dinner. The girls did really good at dinner. They are so funny. After dinner we went to the Christmas Tree Shoppe and got a couple items for the house. We then came home and had a potty break and the girls put comfy clothes on for the ride home. Then we took two separate cars and drove to Giant and got some gas. Then we took one car and went to Nay Aug Park to see the drive through lights. The girls really enjoyed them. Sara would get so excited and kick her legs. After we were done with the lights we headed our separate ways.

On Sunday we went to the farm to sell Christmas trees. Mom and Gremmy were going to Alyssa's Christmas concert so they needed someone to sell trees. It was a nice day. Tabber got to play with Zoe and spent all day outside. We sold 32 trees. We were pretty happy about it. When we left to come home Tabber was asleep within 5 mins of leaving the farm. She was exhausted, so were mommy and daddy. It was an early night for us.
