The Reason for the Season

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  I certainly did.  My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with my amazing family and watching children open presents.  Here are some of my Christmas highlights…

Cory and I gave the boys MP3 players filled with their favorite music (Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob, etc).  My godson, TJ, came up to me after opening his gift and said “Nanny, I really love my present so much!” and gave me a huge hug and kiss!

Cory was so surprised to get a fishing rod (among other things) from my mom!

I knew my fruit tray was once again a success when several people came up to me to ask what “those red things in the middle were”?!

As for the gifts, I got some great things!  Cory really tricked me.  Remember that HUGE Christmas bag for me from Cory I was telling yall about?  Well, he actually put a bunch of small gift bags inside the big one and filled the rest of the space with newspaper to throw me off!  What was inside the big bag?

DSC04686 A nice bottle of olive oil and wine… I actually gave this as a gift to my aunt and paran and was commenting on how much I wanted it for myself!

 My favorite perfume that I have been out of for months!

I have been wanting Scrabble for ages!  This “vintage game collection” actually looks like a book from the side.

In addition to food books/blogs, I am quite addicted to fashion books and fashion blogs!  I have been wanting this book for a couple years now.

 

I was very proud that Cory stayed close to budget.  Before we started Christmas shopping, I set a $100 limit for each of us to spend… I think he went a little over. 

Cory is planning on running a half marathon so I gave him some new tennis shoes and a heart rate monitor!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Thanks for reading  :)
