Christmas Gifts I Received

I had a wonderful Christmas this year despite the fact of getting a cold. The cold part is not fun as I am still battling it. At anyrate here is how my frist Christmas went with my wife Lyndsey and her family.

Christmas morning we got up around 10:30am and went over to Lyndsey's dads house around 11:15am. We opened presents and found that her dad gave us a gift card to Home Depot and gave me a 256mb Jump Drive from Heidelberg, Germany. After we opened presents we had Chirstmas ham, mashed potatoes and green beans for lunch. The ham was very good. Once we were done eating and everyone was stuffed we watched the movie Invincible, with Mark Wahlberg. The movie was pretty good. Once the movie was over we went over to my sisters house.

At my sisters house (around 2:30pm) we gave my sister and her husband their present along with my neice and nephew. They enjoyed the homemade presents and were excited. My sister and her husband gave us a homedepot card, which goes right along with our other 4 home depots cards. After that Leif and I made a trash run and a battery run. Once we got back Lyndsey and I again said our good-byes as we had to go to her mom's house next.

At Lyndsey's moms house we say and watched A Christmas Story until Lyndsey's mom and brother got home, at that time we opened our presents from her mom and brother and from each other. From Lyndsey's mom I got a drawer organizer, a Porter Cable drill, and Black and Decker drill bits. From Lyndsey's brother he gave Lyndsey and I a new Door Knocker with "Worthen" engraved into it, a great gift.

Now it was my time to open Lyndsey's present to me. I was kinda sad that I was sick because I do not think I expressed how excited I was enough. But she got me a brand new Charbroil grill!!!!!!!!!!!!! It does not require those crazy lava rocks and is very awesome!! I cannot wait till we are in our new house fulltime and I can grill! Along with the grill she got me the grill tools! I love my new grill!

After all that was said and done I was soo tired. Dinner was next and we had a great dinner made by her mom. It was steaks and Crab legs. I love crab and I was stuffed! Needless to say, despite the fact of me being sick I had a wonderful Chistmas thanks to my new and old family.
