The greatest gift...

Once again a picture from my cell since the charger to my camera is MIA.. However, Jared and i spent the day Christmas shopping and enjoying each others company. We had a decision last week to either go to a movie and take my lil bro, my niece and nephew or to get a tree.. After not much thought we knew the decision was to go to the movie and spend sometime with our wonderful family. The movie was a blast and we were so glad we made the decision. We took them to see A Christmas Carol, which i think terrified them more than anything.. That movie was a little scary in 3D, but i loved every minute of Malia snuggled up on my lap telling me she was ok and she was brave, all the time covering her eyes or taking the 3D glasses off.. We all had fun and jumped quite a few times in the movie. Jared and I decided we would get a tree the next time we got paid or we would just wait till next year. Friday we were checking the mail and there was a card addressed in handwriting that was all to familiar. My mom and dad sent us a gift card to walmart so we could go get a tree.. We were to say the least THRILLED!! Yesterday we had sometime to go get the tree before going out with some friends for the night. We did not put it up till tonight and i am so proud of our little tree. It means so much to us and we feel a lot more grateful for it as it was a gift to us. We are so excited for our first Christmas married and I even have my husband listening to Christmas music early, watching Elf and The Forgotten Carols over and over.. It has been a blast and December is not even here yet!! Thanks mom and dad for our wonderful tree!! WE LOVE IT!!
