Christmas went by so fast!

Wow!! I can't believe it's over already! This was an awesome Christmas! Will and I exchanged gifts a week early, and he did great! I got a prayer bracelt, a shirt, a Walmart gift card and an Eifel Tower for my room. (He knows me so well!). I got him a Patagonia pullover, a book, and personalized M&Ms with our names and pictures on them! It was great! Since I took the time personally to wrap Will's gifts, it was only fair for me to suggest he do the same. He did, and they were so cute! he even took the time to make bows! I was SO proud! His sweet family also got me a shirt, and some Ed Hardy (sp?) lotion! It smells wonderful! I'll post pictures later, they are at home, and I'm at work.
On Christmas Eve, Will came over for Christmas Eve dinner, along with my grandmother. We had tons of fun and spent the night looking at old photo albums. After Will left, we all went to bed, including Grandmother, she spent the night with us! The next morning I woke to the sound of footsteps downstairs. I woke up Kenzie and all of us kids went into the living room. So many presents! Kenzie got TONS of clothes, a Crayola glow station, Nintendo DS games and accessories, and soo much more. Cody got a new North Face backpack, clothes, his first phone, and lots of other stuff. I got a new camera! I was soo excited because I am the family photographer, and my camera has been broken since this previous summer! I got a Patagonia pullover, like Will's!!, new bare minerals makeup (my life saver), clothes, and a bunch of different random stuff! The living room floor was a mess needless to say!

That afternoon we headed down south to visit with my grandparents. We didnt get back untill almost midnight Christmas night, but it was so much fun!

The day after Christmas, Will and I headed to Tupelo to purchase a ... KAYAK!! He's been wanting one for a while now, and now that he got Christmas money, he finally had enough! We got to Dicks, and the one he had wanted was gone, thankfully there was one close to the price of his first choice! We walked around the mall afterwords, then loaded the kayak in Mr. Jeff's truck. On the way home we made a pitstop in Satillo to look at the lights downtown! They were gorgeous!

Oh and I almost forgot! I got the cutest little purse thingy from Will;s little cousin Julie! Whether intended or not, my iPhone fits PERFECTLY in it! Thank you so much sweet Julie!!
I hope EVERYONE had a beautiful Christmas!

New to blogging

Okay, so I recently got rid of facebook, and I have found myself missing it.. why? Not because I can no longer know people's business constantly, but because I miss writing notes, whether it was on under-age drinking or abortions I loved it. Therefore, I am going to take a shot at blogging.. both because I need something to keep me busy and because I simply love to write. So please be patient, it will most definatly take me a while to get used to this!
