Christmas 2011 Continued

So this is a little while coming but here is what we did Christmas Day 2011. Christmas Eve we had a lovely Prime Rib Dinner yum!








Of course I was anxious to open my presents as always and so I couldn't sleep all night long! Mark was rather annoyed by this haha! So we woke up as early as I could convince everyone to wake up (I sound like a little kid but I was the only one with a surprise on Christmas Day). However, before everyone got out of bed I got up at 5am.. I walked to the kitchen looked out the window and saw the neighbor's lights not. I went back to bed and chewed Mark out saying, "Its not fair the Toomer's are up but we still have an hour left to sleep... so not fair!" Needless to say he told the whole family and I got teased by everyone including the Toomers! Anyway we woke up and I was told that this blue shiney package was my big present- thinking I got something different I was rather confused and opened it to find an Easy Bake Oven. Joke was on me since I had been snooping so they all decided to trick me and make me think I was getting something else. So i told them I was going to keep it and use it!Next they said this other present was my big one so I opened it and it was my Sewing Machine! It was a beautiful Singer machine that I had some what of an inkling that I was getting it but thought better of it. It was such a surprise! I love it! Then I opened the rest of mine I got a binding and laminating machine with a super cool cutter- straight and squiggly! I got boots from Mark and some jeans and some other small things. Mark got a tree blind from me and Cabela's Dangerous Hunts (he is playing it now so I think I dida good job), his parents got him a tool set with a drill, sander, electric saw, and an electric screw driver, he got a jacket from me and the funniest of all was the movie he got. He opened his stocking and pulled out the movie- read the title and said, "Mom you got me a chick flick!" She had no idea, so when the boys started comparing movies we found that Tyson got transformers- Mark felt he was cheated and that his mom was questioning his gender in some way haha! It was extremely funny.

We went to church after we opened presents and that was the best part of Chirstmas this year! For new years the rest of Mark's family came up and Eric reported his mission in church. We got to see our niece and nephew for a little while and see some friends over the break as well.










We enjoyed spending time with family and celebrating the Christmas season this year. It was so fun to go to church on Christmas and be reminded of the true meaning of Chirstmas this year. We are so greatful for the Birth of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ and for all that he has done for us in our lives. We know that with out him we would not be who we are or where we are today. We hope your family had a Holly Jolly Season as well.
