"The Stockings were hung on the Entertainment Center with care..."

This year was our first Christmas in our own house so we spent the night here. This was also the first year Marq & I have actually surprised each other with gifts, usually we pick all of our own gifts.

When we got home from my families party Marq left to go pick up my gift which he had been hiding at Grandma's house. Once he left I secretly slipped out and ran over to Tahna's house to get the gift that he had no idea I had been hiding there. I got home before he did and got all his gifts set out before he got back. I covered his presents with a blanket and went to bed so that he could set up my gifts.

Christmas morning came at 6am at our house. When I was little the rule on Christmas morning was that we had to wait for my dad to light the fire before anyone could come out into the family room. Since we don't have a fireplace Marq got up and lit all our of candles instead.

I got a sewing machine, clothes, perfume and lots of cool kitchen stuff for the new house.

Marq got a new propane heater for his new garage, a controller he is building for his car and some bike gear.

That's one thing I miss about our apartment is the fire place. I had no place to hang our stockings this year :( I can't believe you got up at 6AM! We slept in until 9am :) But I was up until 2 wrapping gifts. Merry Christmas!
