We had a nice Christmas. No one really got anything big, and it's actually some of the littlest pleasures that seemed to make me feel happy. First off is a toothpaste lid that Santa gave to Alex. I smile every time I see it on the counter:
You take his paw away from his mouth to squeeze the toothpaste out.
Next is a gift from a friend that I stamp with. She crocheted a lap blanket for each member of our stamping group. I love the colors and am just thrilled.
Next, my parents gave Ryan a quesadilla maker. Big hit. Downside--we're going through cheese way too fast.
Next we have a gift that I gave my father...and then was surprised by how much I liked it, so went out a bought a copy of my own. It's Susan Boyle's CD. I just love her voice. See my playlist and my favorite youtube videos list to listen to her sing "I Dreamed a Dream."
And lastly, for $10 I bought a new advent calendar after Christmas at Winco. It's not as pretty as the $200 one I saw while visiting my mom in July, but it'll do. Now I just need to find things to put into the drawers for next year.
Roll up little messages. maybe a scripture, a story, a craft to do, (example make gingerbread house)go to an event, (ward party, christmas tree lighting) etc. It is so cute.
ReplyDeleteNice Sweet Deal on the advent calendar! High five!
