Hopkins

Matt and I were truly blessed this Christmas and had a terrific time with our family and friends. We celebrated Christmas on Sunday evening with the Hopkins. Adam and Genie were going to be spending Christmas Day with her family so we celebrated early so they could get on the road. To start our evening we were treated to a wonderful dinner of Steak and lobster, so yummy. After we were all stuffed we opened presents, presents and more presents! We all received gifts from Europe and Scotland, beautiful crosses and jewelry! Matt and I also got coffee mugs and gift cards for Adam and Genie – Matt says it’s the best coffee mug ever! But our big gifts were an ipod nano for me – in green and a twinkie one for Genie in blue – in our wedding colors!!! And a Nintendo Wii for Matt (well…and for me b/c I had the fever). We were so excited about the Wii!

After opening all the gifts wii had to play with the wii so wii could show all the family how much fun it is! Wii enjoyed a fun night of wii sports! It was a blast! Thanks Ronny & Carla, Mom & Dad for such a great Christmas!

Christmas morning Matt and I were up bright and early in order to get to my parents house by 9 AM for breakfast and presents. Santa visited our apartment, even though we don’t have a chimney, and left some great gifts for Matt and me. So, after enjoying a moment of Christmas for the two of us we headed over for the fun. The day began with breakfast and then presents for the little ones! We LOVE watching Ems, Mo and Lo open their gifts…it’s the highlight of our day. The kids are so into the day and love getting the smallest thing. After all the kids opened their gifts we got to open ours. Matt and I were surprised with great gifts again. He was super stocked for work – clothes, briefcase, mighty mouse for his Mac, wallet, and belt… anything he needed to move from student to professional. I think he’s set to be in the real world now. I on the other hand had a G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (sing it like Fergie) holiday. I got some great sun glasses, a new handbag, gift cards, and a piece of furniture! I was so surprised by my new hutch! I had no idea it was coming. My mom had heard my cries for my storage in our new apartment and knew I wanted a hutch (half of my dishes are still packed away). They found the perfect pieced that fully captures what we desire for our house to look like when we get outta the apartment and start buying new furniture. It’s our goal piece! Now I can’t wait to fill it up with my gorgeous white dishes!

Again our day was filled with Wii fun! We brought the wii over to the house so that the family could play and it turned in to the fun of the day. Santa had brought Matt 2 more games so we had plenty of fun to go around. Even mom, dad, and Pop got into the fun.

After a great time at my parent’s house Matt and I were invited over to “wine” down with Lesley and Travis. We had a great time on Christmas night playing Travis & Lesley’s gift of guitar hero and drinking wine for hours! I think Matt and I know what we’re going to be saving our money for next! I can’t say that I’m a rock star but we sure had a good time. It was a perfect end to a fun day.

Matt and I are extremely blessed and thankful for such a wonderful holiday season. We love you all Merry Christmas!
