I’ve been having so much fun reading everyone’s holiday posts!

I don’t know about you, but it’s hard for me to describe in words the love and feeling that goes in Christmas. It can get very emotional sometimes (I’m a total sap, I know). So instead of getting all mushy on you guys, I thought I’d recap the gifts!!! I know that isn’t what Christmas is about, but Santa was quite good to us this year.

C made out like a bandit:

Lots of video games, board games, legos, and sports gear!

Then J had his dream Christmas……

…………AN APPLE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

But my favorite gift he got this year was this:

The one I made for him for our wedding was starting to fall apart so he desperately needed a new one!

And me? Well, Santa brought me some bling this year:

I asked for this cocktail ring from Swarovski and when J told me last week that he “went outside the box” for my Christmas gift I got a little scared (ok, a LOT scared!). So I was pleasantly surprised when I unwrapped this on Christmas Eve!!

There were lots of other gifts given and received, but nothing was better than when we got up Christmas morning and C told me he wanted me to open my gift first (and was super excited about it). He passed up opening all the gifts under the tree from Santa so that I could open my gift from him first. What a kid!!

And if you’re wondering what his present was, he and J made me a light box so that I can take pictures of my goodies even if it’s dark out (since I tend to bake late at night). It’s pretty fantastic!!

But more than anything, the way C acted Christmas morning was the best gift I could have ever received. I’m so proud. He’s such a great kid. And I totally just blew it. I said I wasn’t going to make this mushy!!!

So, on that note, I’m out. What was the best gift you received this year??
