We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We are blessed to have such wonderful families and to be able to spend some time with them recently. We got a box of #10 cans from Tim & Summer. I'm excited to try the wheat, since I've never used it before in anything. We also got a hysterical card from Adam (Zach's brother). Inside was a gift card and $20. My first thought was "Dang! Adam must be loaded!" because it was way more than I was expecting (especially since I wasn't really expecting anything). Here is the message: "Alright, so if you two don't like Olive Garden, blame Mom. Cuz she's the one that was so sure of it. Ok? Haha. And the $20 is me paying you back, Zach, for all that money I stole out of your A&W glass for school lunches when I was a freshman. I'm not sure how much I took, so I just decided to be safe and go with 20."
I busted up laughing!!! Then I read it to Zach and he busted up laughing! Adam, you're always good for a laugh. :) We'll miss you someday when you leave.
Madison got a little ride on toy that plays the Muffin Man song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She LOVES it! She gets on and plays the music (only Twinkle Twinkle, for some reason she doesn't like the Muffin Man song) and dances away. It is so cute. I'll have to get a video of it sometime for her Grammy & Grandpa to see.
Since I'm sure you all don't really care what all we got for Christmas from every single person we are related to, I'll do a quick sum up of the rest. Baby stroller for Madie from my parents along with some books and clothes. I also got clothes (super awesome story on that to follow) and Zach got some thing to draw on for his computer. It is called a VisTablet, in you are curious and want to google it. Sarah made us a cute nativity wall hanging that I'll have to get a pic of later.
For the awesome clothes story. I found a pair of jeans at Kohls in the 90% off section. It wasn't the size I normally wear but I had never heard of the brand before so I figured I would give them a try. Well lucky for me they fit! So how much were my jeans? Regular price $40. Awesome! I just scored $40 jeans for $4...but wait...there's more. We go to checkout and they don't ring up at $4...they ring up for $3! Plus we got an extra 15% off! Yep, $40 jeans for $2.55!!! I also got another pair of jeans, but they weren't as good of a deal (regularly $40, we paid just over $5).
