So was the Lego bag! In fact - that may have been the biggest hit of the little man's entire haul! Yea!!
As for me - as we opened presents, I was wildly spoiled with clothes, and shoes... check out these beauties...
I feel a new blog header coming on... :)
I also got (myself) this book:
I am so excited to get into it and learn some new techniques and things! Yea!
But, as the present opening wound down, the one thing that I had asked for - a Dress Form - remained absent. I was so bummed. But, I didn't want to whine on Christmas - especially when I had received such beautiful heels, so I didn't say anything and just started plotting when I could buy myself one. Afterward, as we were getting ready to pile in the car to go look at Christmas lights, (we open family gifts on Christmas Eve - to keep them separate from the Santa mayhem) I opened my car door to find:
My Dress Form!!
It was sitting in my seat!!!! hahaha! My hubby laughed and said, "Well, I had to surprise you somehow!"
Isn't she lovely? Her name is Trisha. I can't wait to put her to good use!!! :)
On Christmas morning, after the Santa mayhem, we went to church!
(He's a little monkey, isn't he?) Doesn't the Princess look pretty? I was right, though - we left a huge pile of glitter in the pew at church. I felt bad... but at least she looked good!
It was a wonderful holiday! We took a getaway to Zion National Park on Christmas day for a few nights, and the Weekender Bags were used and were a huge success!! I am so happy I made those!
Hope everyone had a great holiday too!!
Glad you had a great Christmas! Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove that hubby hid your dress form in the car, that's so cute! Looks like such a fun christmas! And seriously funny that your daughter left a trail of glitter wherever she went!
ReplyDeleteOh, yay! A dress form is super cool... so fun that you got to be surprised! You will love the Colette book. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your weekender bags! I might just have to make one of those. :) The shoes are great too, but that dress form...what an awesome present!
ReplyDeleteOh yay, I'm so happy your little man loved the Lego bag! And a dress form! That's hard core! LOL. Glad you had a good Christmas. : )
ReplyDeleteLOL. Glad you had a good Christmas :D
ReplyDeleteI love those bags, you are going to have so much fun using them on your next trip. And the shoes are perfect and lucky you to get the dress form!
ReplyDeleteOf course everything was a hit!!! I'm so jealous of that dress form! I can't wait to see you put it to good use!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, friend!!!
I laughed when I read this story--my husband has a hard time surprising me, too, and it sounds like yours really came through this year!
ReplyDeleteThe Princess dress is beautiful. Well done!
