This was our first christmas together, and it was pretty dang good for the first one.
Christmas Eve we carried on a Regimbal tradition in going to Aunt Brenda & Uncle Warren's house for meat fondu, and delicious scallop potatoes. We ate, sang carols, & played games. On Christmas day Kyle & i woke up- and then OPENED presents.
We had decided to only do stockings- with a limit of $70.00. Of course Kyle went over the limit, because he manages the money- and there i was trying to squeeze every penny from my $70.00 allowance.... what a silly boy.
I got kyle little things like a toothbrush, traveling bathroom kit, etc. A nice rolling pin(because he was using our spaghetti jar & wanted one), a new leather belt with a circa belt buckle. And other little things- now this may seem like a decent gift, but then let me tell you what he got me (which will then put my "thoughtful" gifts to shame)
He got me little things like a tooth brush, body soap, etc. A new blow dryer (because my other one broke in Scotland), the new Ipod nano touch (talk about going over the budget... not really he used our wedding gift cards to pay for most of the cost), some really nice tights, .... oh yeah and a trip to go visit my family! (In Utah, JUST in time to be able to go to my very good friend Chris's wedding) He also asked my work for time off FOR ME, now that's going over the budget a little MUCH. Also very sweet of him. I looooove him! hahaha
We then went and picked up my brother Tyler, & went to our cousin Sarah's house.
We played Xbox connects (some video game that you dance what you see on the screen) It was so funny. It was so good to see my brother- it was the first time we had seen him since September when he left to go tour Europe.
Then we went back to Kyle's parents house for dinner & some quality family time. It was so nice to be able to laugh and joke around with all kyle's brothers and sisters.
After a long day we went home and skyped with my family- it was so much fun. We played music and danced all together- they put the computer on the shelf so that we could watch them eat dessert... from a far but yet so close. hahaha Oh how i love my family.
AND that was our first christmas together- I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas!
Much love.
