Why is that?
Why is it that every time I talk to someone after Christmas their first words are "What did you get?" Seems to me that it's terribly commercial of them. Anyway, here's what I GOT:
I got to spend a day with my husband, my baby, and my puppy
I got a visit from Bob's dad and my mom
I got to decorate a tree with pretty lights
I got to receive the kindness of strangers
I got to help some children by donating to St. Jude's
I got a day off from work
I got to eat the delicious pancakes that Bob always makes on Christmas morning.
I got to take a 2 hour nap cuddled up with my family
And as always, I got to be healthy, have enough to eat, and be warm and dry.
I was also given some presents. They were all very nice but won't be listed here. Christmas this year was wonderful. I'm so glad that I got everything I wanted.

Merry Christmas!
Yay, Christmas! Oliver loved our tree, and all the presents underneath.
This is a picture of our tree that Bob took. It turned out kind of cool.
Oliver and his stocking.
Oliver playing with some of his new toys. The turtle on the left and the frog and duck hanging.
We had a wonderful Christmas at home. Nanny and Pappy came to visit on their way to WV on Saturday, and Gramma and Grampa came on Sunday. Christmas morning we got up early and opened up all our presents. Bob had fun with the treasure hunt I made for him...I did too! After the presents Oliver and I snuggled down on the couch and Daddy made pancakes! They were really yummy...I put strawberries and blueberries and whipped cream on mine. Oliver got a little taste of the fruit and he seemed to like it. He kept licking that strawberry! After breakfast we all took a nap, then we got up and wanted to watch Christmas specials on TV, but there were none!! Bob went out after it stopped raining and played with his new BB/pellet gun while Oliver and I played with his new toys. I spent a good deal of time looking through the photo album that Bob and Oliver made for me. I still have to go through and write descriptions of the pictures...I can't wait! It was a very wonderful present! There were pictures from our wedding, and some from before we were married. There were lots of pictures of Oliver and Jasper. They also had some pictures framed for me. My very favorite picture of Oliver, and a few from our wedding. I can't wait to hang them up!!
