Christmas Morning

This is our Christmas tree (2010) and how it looked on Christmas morning.  Because all our belongings were being put in storage two days after Christmas and one of those days was a Sunday (in which we kept holy and didn't pack), we kept our Christmas kind of small this year.  The tree is very special to me because my grandmother gave it to me.   My mother had given it to my grandmother years ago and grandma decided that she didn't want it any more and offered it to me.  She also gave me a few other Christmas decorations but we didn't use them this year but I really really really hope I will be able to use them next year.  The tree is a fiber-optics tree and changes color when plugged in at night.  I tried to take a picture of it at night but it didn't turn out so well.

Here are our stockings...I made them last year and it was so much fun to pull them out and use them this year.

And look at those awesome gifts...SM did a wonderful job this year at getting some great presents.  I bought myself the socks.   I got books, a book on CD from my parents, and a music CD, and head phone stuff and sheets and a blanket for my bed.  I loved every gift.

I'm not exactly sure that SM will like that I'm putting this photo of him on the blog.  Oh well...  Here he is with some of his Christmas gifts.  He actually knew every gift under the tree except the two from my parents since he was the one who bought all the gifts for Christmas this year.  I am blaming my lack of Christmas spirit on the fact that we were moving so closely after the holiday.  But I am very grateful that SM took the initiative and bought our gifts for Christmas this year.
