Christmas 2012

I can hardly believe another Christmas has come and gone! I feel like time needs to just slow down for a while! We had another great Christmas together its actually our 5th Christmas as a couple but our first as a married couple!

Christmas Eve was Matthew's 25th birthday! So we went out to Tony Roma's for Lunch with him mom to celebrate It was allot of fun. We made it back to magrath in time to make an appearance at the Alston party which is always allot of fun! We celebrated Matt's birthday over Chinese food with the Chipman family and then finished it off with some homemade Raspberry Cheesecake! (he isn't spoiled at all) After dinner we all gathered around to play some games and visit. Easton dressed up like Santa to surprise the kids, but in the end ended up surprising all of us! He made my mom come and sit on Santa's knee and then he announced to all of us that My mom was getting a new grand baby!! We are all so so excited for East and Kass! After the awesome news we all played some minute to win it! Then opened our awesome Christmas jammies! After that we stuffed some stockings and Matt and I headed over to East and Kass's for the night. Matt and East had a ping pong tournament and Kass and I visited into the wee hours. I'd say Matt had a pretty good 25th! I love him to bits and pieces and am so happy to have him in my life.

Dex was soo excited to see Santa!

We were up at 7 Christmas morning so we could be to mom's by 7:30 for presents... lets just say it was a struggle to get Matt out of bed! lol I am still like a little kid Christmas morning but Matt would have been perfectly fine with sleeping for a couple more hours..needless to say he did eventually getup and we headed over to mom and dad's. I love Christmas! I of course got spoiled as usual! But my favourite part is watching everyone open there gifts!! especially Dexter he was very excited and eager to unwrap he even started unwrapping everyone else's presents! ha it was so much fun!! Matt spoiled me! We recently got me a new vehicle which is my present!! a 2003 Jeep renegade! I love it!! and he got me a cricket!! (I know I am so spoiled) I love to scrapbook!! And mom and dad got me some uggs!! Jace got my name and she got me season 1 and 2 of rookie blue!! (which I have almost finished..I'ma bit obsessed)  It was a great Christmas I must say!! After a very delicious breakfast we went over to grandma Alstons to check out her loot, and then headed to East and Kass's to get ready to head to Cardston for our Smith Dinner and Grandma and Grandpa Smiths.

Santa Came!

Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Smith's was delicious! Grandma Smith is such a great cook! It was so nice getting to see everyone! We brought our wedding album to share with everyone it was so fun reminiscing in the day with our loved ones! We got spoiled by Mike and Cheryl as always! They gave us some cash to go shopping, and Marky got me some lotion lip stuff and gift certificate! We are so loved! I love spending the holidays with family. Matt and I are so lucky to have such loving families! I don't know what we would do without them! After dinner I took a cat nap while Matt and Christie played cards with the grandparents. After Dinner we headed into Lethbridge to go to Marilyns. (busy day I know but we love to see everybody)

We got unloaded at Mar's and we decided to exchange presents! Christie and I got Eachother's names! She got me a new guess wallet, some yummy turtles, and a pandora charm bracelet! She is too good to me! I got her her own specialised hair care basket! We all visited and hung out for a while and then decided to call it a night. We slept in and woke up and hung out while Mar made a Delicious dinner. We had Lobster tale, shrimp, and garlic mashed potatoes. We enjoyed each other company and had an amazing meal. We all headed back home after dinner!

 

I am so thankful for both of our loving families! Christmas just wouldn't be the same without all of them! What an amazing year we have had together and we look forward to our many Chrismas's to come.
