Christmas

Christmas was a little different for me this year. I spent Christmas day with Tim and his family. It is always fun to see the traditions that other families have. The biggest difference between Tim's family and mine is the stocking.

Growing up we always had peanuts and oranges in our stocking (some candy too). In Tim's family, they put candy and lots of gifts. I have never experienced that, it was cool. Here is what was in my stocking:

The Love Comes Softly series Vol. 4-6


Baptist at Our BBQ

Frog Figurines - A frog ornament, Frog prince, and the frog with the bugs says, "Somebuggy loves you"

Cara got me this pretty necklace. I can't wait to accessorize an outfit with it.

And I got this wedding magazine! I found out later that it was Tim who got it for me. I asked him if there was an explanation behind it and he said he is just keeping me on my toes. ITS WORKING - I am definitely on my toes.

As for my gift from Tim. I got this beautiful necklace. I absolutely love it! He did good.

I got Tim a puppy! I bought a collar and dog tag and wrapped that up. That way he could pick out the puppy he wanted. The fun part was the tag.

Tim loves the name Titus - for a child. There is no way I am naming our child Titus so I figured if we name the dog Titus then he wont be able to name our baby Titus. When I went to petsmart and got the tag I engraved it with the name Titus. It started as a little joke but by Christmas morning I was hooked on the name.

I told Tim after he opened the gift that he didn't have to name the dog Titus but he needed to let me know quick cuz I was attached to the name.

Last night we went and got a puppy. A little mini dauchshund. He is 9 weeks old. He is very cute and will be even cuter when he is done whining! I don't have a picture yet. I will take one today and put it up.

So we have a new addition to the family
