Our Christmas Eve was a little different than years past. We typically get together with my Mom's side of the family, but with my Grandma out of town this year (visiting my uncle and his kids in Georgia) we didn't get together with the whole family.
Instead, my sister and I had dinner with my mom and step-dad and then decided to visit with my step-Mom's family. We had a snow storm that night, so the drive was a very scary one. One that I never want to drive again. Thankfully we made it safely to our destination and back.
When we got back to my Mom's all of us kids exchanged gifts. Stephanie got me a Tim Horton's gift card.. love her for that! In exchange I got her a tanning gift certificate. Megan (11) goes to the dollar store each year and picks out gifts for everyone. This year I got a coffee mug with cappuccino mix inside. In exchange I got her a Michigan State sweatshirt (she received that a few months early because it was MSU vs UofM day at school and she didn't have any MSU apparel). I also got her a new pajama set from Old Navy. Madison didn't have any gifts to give this year, but of course I got her a few things. She got an Aeropostale gift card and an Old Navy pajama set as well.
Here's the girls opening their gifts.
My mom is picky about the toothpaste tube. She always pushes the toothpaste up and then when my step-dad uses it, he just grabs it in the center and of course we all know what happens. So... For a silly gift this year I got them a toothpaste squeeze to hopefully help fix that issue!
After we finished opening gifts, my boyfriend came over to exchange gifts. He wanted a juicer this year, so that's what he got! I also got him car wash coupons since he always tries to keep his car clean on the outside. The inside is a different story! He surprised me big time and got me a new pair of Uggs. I mentioned I wanted an off brand kind just because Uggs are rather expensive, but he took it all the way. He must love me or something ;)
This is the only picture I have with me and my Uggs. (Yes the shirt was a gift too, but from my parents).
