Happy Birthday to ME!

Today is a very special day... it is the day that God blessed this world with ME!!! giggles!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

So I am still SUCH a kid! I may be turning 23 today... but you might as well make it 2+3... I was up at 5am! Ha ha... the tv got left on last night and I woke up to the sound of it and the smell of bacon frying... mmm April my darling made BLT's for breaky!

After coffee and stockings... we began the gift opening... I am always the one to pass out the gifts every year and I have to say that this year I would have willingly given up the honour - definitely due to the excruciating pain that was inflicted upon me by Shames Mountain... lol (seriously, it's bad)

The gifts were all completely wonderful!! Santa definitely delivered... even in the absence of my parcels from ON... now I know its not about the gifts! Nobody has to tell me that, especially after this year! Thank you to our special Christmas angel who brought gifts on Christmas Eve to our house... you are such a blessing! But I know that everyone wants to know what I got! :P

A beautiful card from my mama... the verse which I will post later as it is so entirely lovely... and then I got not one but two chrismtas novels!! A christmas CD... (I get a book every year from mama), a Christmas CD... I adore Christmas music!! a pink hat, pink mittens, and a pretty pink scarf! Some lovely pampering bath soaps and lotions... mmm... some perfume - so lovely... a journal - to record the dreams of my new year! And my darling sisters gave me a gift certificate to the Christian bookstore... they were going to get me a new Bible... but thought that I should choose it, if in fact I wanted a new one... their thoughts were that my current one is falling apart and wanted to get me something that was dear to my heart... I am so glad that they let me pick out what I want as... I don't think I would be able to part with all the treasures that are inside my Bible... so much in there - notes and underlinings and all the treasures that my Papa has spoken to my heart... SO, they truly blessed me with their gift!

Talked with my wonderful brother and my dad who are in Ontario... I wish my brother could be with us... but he decided to visit my dad for the holiday as he doesn't get very much time off of school...

Now... tis a day ahead of games and reading and christmas music and christmas movies... and christmas candy! I did lots of baking too... and am working on gourmet dinner - smiles...if anyone can stuff anything else in their candy filled tummies!

pictures to come...
