Three Christmas's

This is a Christmas of firsts for me - my first Christmas away from home, my first Christmas as a married woman, and my first Christmas making treats for the neighbors :) I made tons of cookie batter! and bought cute little Christmas plates and plastic wrap even though I abhor plastic wrap and I made a ton of cookies that tasted so good! My apologies to all my friends and neighbors that never saw a single cookie from us! We had no time to deliver. Hope we do better next year. :) So naturally, because we are so cool, everyone wants to celebrate Christmas with us! So we had a Sirrine Christmas where we dumped out stockings, tore open presents, and ate yummy food! It was SO nice to be with the family because they are so fun and wonderful! And then we had a Our Own Christmas where we read the Christmas Story from Luke and Matthew, gave each other presents, and ate waffles! My hubby boy was so thoughtful! I had ordered and wrapped my own present - walkie talkie cases - and so I opened it saying, "Woooow I wonder what this is." But then I opened it to find two cute little walkie talkies already all cozy in their cases! I was so happy! I love surprises! He had unwrapped it and rewrapped it so well. :) He sure is a cutie!

Now we'll have to wait for Christmas day for the third, Luddington Christmas!
