Merry Christmas to everyone! I have just a little bit of time before having to get ready to head to my parents' house around 1:30, so I thought I'd do some blogging and tell you all about our first Christmas together, being married, and in our new house :)
Christmas Eve is always enjoyable. There's just something about it being nighttime, having heavy appetizers, drinks, going to church, and being with family. Derrick and I went to church at 4p, and came home to have my parents, brother, and gram over. We had great a wonderful spread of appetizers - stuffed mushrooms, shrimp, dollar roll ham sandwiches, etc. We played Left, Right, Center (a money game) and had a pretty good time. My dad kept winning his $40 back, so we had to keep playing because he wanted Branden, Derrick, or I to end up with it. I ended up winning and splitting with Branden. Everyone left pretty late, so afterwards Derrick and I decided to open each other's presents instead of doing it in the morning. I got Derrick two pairs of shoes, and a shirt and tie. I got a Jessica Simpson purse! And Beetle, got a bone. However, my Christmas present came the day before Christmas Eve. That's right, on Wednesday we spend 5 hours at the car dealership. The time has come folks, I have gotten a NEW car!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!

We have purchased a 2009 Jeep Commander. She is beautiful! I am in love. I made a pretty big change from my 1996 Honda Civic - the past month we have really had issues with the Honda, so it was time. I have waited patiently for 2 years, and the time has FINALLY come! To sum it up, the Commander rocks my face off!!! (I think Derrick is more excited than I am...) Hopefully we will find the Honda a loving home to a little 16-year-old!
Today is Christmas Day, we slept in, watched the Christmas Day disney parade, and went out to breakfast! It's always nice when it snows on Christmas, it makes it so much more Christmasy.
Happy Holidays!!
