We decided a few years ago that on Christmas Eve we would open the gifts from my family and friends. As a child we opened all our gifts on Christmas Eve, we figured by opening gifts from the Field family on Christmas Eve we would be sticking with that tradition. We got such lovely gifts from my family. My friends also were sooo thoughtful. Robin got me a Jazz cookbook that was made in 1992-1993. It is seriously like the perfect gift for me! Alyssa got us basketball mugs (it has a hoop where you can shoot your marshmallows in the mug!) Moni got me two bags. I needed a new purse! After opening gifts we put the kids to bed. I love Christmas Eve with Lou after the kids go to bed. It is seriously one of my favorite moments of the entire year! We wrap presents, eat treats and watch cheesy Christmas movies on Netflix.
The kids woke up a little before 7:00 on Christmas. They were so excited to open their gifts. They got a Wii U this year for their big gift. They got Wii U games, spy gear, Star War toys and more :)
We had a fun Christmas! Lou was able to work from home a lot this week,it was so nice after hardly seeing him the last month. Today he however had to work and is working late. Now it's New Year's. Its 2015. Its crazy how fast time flies. I never like the month January. It always seems like such a let down after December. I am trying to have a good attitude though this year. I will appreciate the little things and make January great.
