Snow, Mistletoe, Presents By the Tree

Merry Christmas!  This was our first Christmas as a married couple and it was a really good day.  We were able to sleep in and I woke up a bit before Reed.  I looked out the window and to my amazement discovered that it was SNOWING!!!  We were up to about an inch of snow before it started raining and melting it all away.  :-(   But it was gorgeous and we did get a white Christmas which is something I've been wanting. 

We got up and opened presents.  Some of the highlights were the slippers that Reed got me (pink and orange) as well as the smash journal kit.  Reed really liked the gloves I bought him and is excited to use the electric face shaver.  He asked for a new one because the one he's using currently has been shaving his face for over 10 years now! 

White Christmas!

Then I tromped around the massive kitchen here at our resort and finally found all the ingredients to make waffles.  Waffles from scratch just don't taste as good as Bisquick waffles do.  *sigh*  But I refused to have Reed eating cold cereal for Christmas breakfast!  How outrageous!  haha

We hurried to meet up with the Bahrt Mom and Dad in order to carry out the long held tradition of watching a movie in the theatre on Christmas.  This year they had chosen Les Miserables.  It was a really good movie and quite well done but I was just not as happy with the voices and that kept it from being a 5 star movie in my mind.  I did, however, sob through most of it and felt completely drippy.  Reed didn't particularly like the movie but he did say that he liked a lot of the storyline (especially ValJean and Javert). 

Snuggie Awesomeness

After the movie was done we went back to our resort and chilled out.  Both of us were tired from lack of sleep because the dogs barked all night long.  Then Mom, Dad and Kandace came over with gifts and to receive their gifts from us.  The parentals got us Snuggies!  I am utterly in love with mine....it's so comfortable and perfect!  Why did I not think of this design?!? 

We watched Men In Black 3 after eating our macaroni and cheese Christmas dinner.  It's a good movie and everybody really liked it.  Then the 'rentals left and Kandace sat and chatted while Reed and I played pool. 

It was a really nice day....relaxing and happy.  Merry Christmas everyone! 

Love, the Jacobsens
