Our Christmas

With Paul working for Christmas (and probably will be for the next 20 years) we just have to improvise on when we are going to have a holiday. Our debate this year (like every year) was before or after Christmas???? We decided to do before, after we went to Silent Night we headed home and had our own Christmas. I knew that after Paul saw the box he was getting he could not wait to open his gift. Paul is not one for surprises and used to unwrap his gifts before and then re-wrap them. I caught on to this trick and wait to the last minute to buy the gift, hide it REALLY good, and wrap it T H R E E times.


Our tree with Paul's present standing next to it...
How could you not want to open that box?!?!?

Finally to the box. Paul got a stand for his saw and loved it. He has already found a spot for it in our garage. Now we really need a new house with a 3 car garage for all of Paul's toys.


Me with my Cricut (that I later exchanged for the bigger one, which was OK with Paul)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
I L O V E my Cricut (pronounced cricket)!!! I have been waiting for this thing F - O - R- E - V - E - R and finally got it and am SO happy!!! I had been playing out about 20 scenarios just to figure out how I could get someone to buy me this for Christmas. And one of those actually paid off and Paul hooked me up. I cant wait to get back to scrapbooking and all kinds of other crafts.

Thank you so much Paul, I love you for bringing the Cricut into my life!

I have been wanting to "play" with a cricut since they came out. I'm WAY behind on my scrapbooking too. Maybe we can get together one night and scrapbook. Andrew and Paul can babysit :)

I couldn't believe you had to wrap Paul's package 3 times... but now I think I might have to do the same thing... Patrick keeps telling me how Paul taught him all the tricks... :-)... now I will have to learn all the wrapping tricks from you!
