Christmas Day RoundUp

 Christmas was amazing and I loved all my gifts. 

My son bought everyone gifts this year. Two each! So sweet. My daughter made me something as she aways does and it was as heartfelt as ever and my husband actually got something for the kids from him which has hasn't done since they were toddlers. Oh my heart was full.


1:30 AM Christmas Morning! Instead of my husband and I running gifts upstairs while the kids slept, my son helped me. This was monumental because as a 21 year old Autistic it was only 2 years ago he found out who provides the magic and I think last year he was on the fence even though he knew. He was hopeful. I loved having him help with the stockings and placing the gifts.




Christmas morning! There is JUST something about the pictures of our tree decorated and all the presents under it. The gifts have changed over the years. There are less. They are much smaller. The four of us get for each other instead of just mom and dad providing and we have decorated empties for the days before and after Christmas. 


This guy had the best Christmas. He was having an 80s theme Christmas and wanted to feel like a kid again. He bought and had me wrap a few games for him.


My daughter's gift always makes me smile. It was a decorated box with a Safe Travel Pouch for my new job. I love to drive and as a bus monitor and not in charge of driving she knows I get anxious. I LOVED it. She also made me a cross necklace. BUT this box!!! Perfection.


 So beautiful


My kids do not like their pictures taken so none of them are of them looking but I will always take their picture. WHAT DO THEY KNOW?! One day they will want these.


It was a great day.
My husband got me cast iron pans which I never asked for but he has always wanted. They are pretty nice! He also got me the scent of my favorite hotel, some journaling supplies and a hat, scarf and mitten set for my new job which in the morning is very cold!

My son got me journaling supplies and a winter "ugly" sweater. He has one I got him from last year and wanted me to have one too for my "cold" job. One problem. The sweater isn't ugly at all. He did a great job picking it out. It is nice and my husband likes it. "I wouldn't call this  ugly at all"


Everyone was happy with their gifts and there was only 2 items of clothes that needed to be returned but one seller told me to not bother and refunded the money.

Perfect Christmas with my favorite people.
