We were up early and had a breakfast casserole and mimosas with cranberry and orange juice. Andy was a little freaked out to come downstairs and see the Christmas tree turned on. We thought it was a Christmas miracle until B admitted to coming downstairs in the middle of the night and turning it on.
We were waiting for E and D to arrive to open present but Andy and I opened ours to each other at 11:15 a.m. B said he'd wait for E to arrive before opening his. I got Andy this book about REM. That was our first real date - an REM concert at U of I.
And this fancy Tommy Bahama shirt (from the actual Tommy Bahama store at Oak Brook) he can wear when we go to Disney soon. I guess he can take the book along too. About five minutes after we opened the presents E and D arrived.
Here's everyone opening their stockings ...
and my lonely, empty stocking. Boo. This is my reminder to fill my own stocking next year. The kids got me a Kitchen Aid shredding attachment which I wanted and Andy got me a nice sweater but we think it needs to be returned for a smaller size.
B got lots of nice gifts to be used in his new apartment. E made him four shopping bags because in the city he'll have to pay for plastic shopping bags.
We got him a blender. silverware set, plates set and food storage conatiners. He also got a sweater that we bought before we knew he was moving out.
We gave D whiskey rocks and glasses and E got cashbe ause she didn't want a lot of things to haul to Disney and then back to Seattle.
By this time next year these two will be married.
