Tis the Season

(Dec 2012)

This year Mike and I were able to spend our first Christmas just the two of us. I didn't have to work on Christmas eve so I went down early for a Christmas movie marathon. We like to party hard so we went crazy and opened our Christmas eve presents from Lauri early.  Luckily they weren't just pjs, they were rivalry pjs (I'm a Ute Mike's a cougar) so we were able to get cozy for the movie.  We didn't want to do the same old, same old, so Mike sat in the recliner and I sat either next to him or on him. Here we are watching our Christmas eve movies.

 

 

 

Mike got a little cold so I put a snuggy on him and then promptly took a picture (he he he).  Poor Mike he has no control on his dress or what pictures I choose to post.  On the bright side, doesn't he look adorable?

 

 

In the middle of our movie watching we took a break to watch a skyped nativity scene put on by my sister and her family.  It was excellent and Mike gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. 

 

I left Mike's late and came back early to open presents, I made sure we were both still in our pjs. Here are some highlights of our spoils:

 

Star Wars shirt to help embrace his inner nerd

 

Cool coat for me so I can be both stylish and warm

(Sorry it was to hard to do a self portrait in it)

Hobbit feet slippers for Mike to keep his feet toasty warm

A Betta fish named Franklin to keep Mike company when I'm not there

Thanks Jeff and Olivia!

 

A cool button that Mike can push to communicate.

Any message can be recorded and he pushes the button to say it. 

 

I was also able to spend some time with my brother and his family in the afternoon.  His two younger boys insisted on coming back with me to see Mike so they could play the Wii with him.  It was fun to have some kids as part of our Christmas festivities. 

 

All in all it was a great Christmas.
