Christmas 2007

The hustle and bustle of Christmas has finally come to a close, and for me, the celebration has been going on since Saturday! This past weekend I was in Lansing to be with Mike's families for their holiday parties. We were in Lansing on Saturday for the Gibbard party, in Kalamazoo Saturday night for the McDonald party, and up in Clare to visit Grandma Dent on Sunday morning! Finally, Sunday evening we came back to Mike's parents' to have our own little gift exchange, and I received many wonderful presents. His family is so good to me! :D

Christmas Eve Mike and I made it back to my parents' house so that he could celebrate Christmas with them. We watched movies, played Mariokart, and the Mom pulled together a delicious sort of finger-food dinner. After that we exchanged gifts, and Mike got me so many nice things!! :D He always has such great taste when it comes to me--he makes me so happy! I got him a leather desk chair for his classroom, and he seemed to love it. :) Now he can have something nice to use at his desk at school.

Christmas morning is always pretty awesome. It's just my family and I, up early to open gifts together while listening to Christmas music. I got all kinds of wonderful gifts, and I really enjoyed watching them open up what I had given them as well. We ate breakfast and hit the road after that! It was to Grandma E's first for lunch and gifting, and then to Grandma J's for the remainder of the evening! We got back home after midnight, and boy was I pooped.

What a great Christmas! I always feel a little sad when it's over. So much leads up to it and I'm always eager for Christmas as early as September! I'm looking very forward to the New Year though--it's time to come up with some great resolutions! How was everyone else's Christmas?? :D
