I spent time with most of my favorite people in the world. I wish I could have seen Sandy, Carthel and Jada. That would have made the day perfect. Days like this make me realize how much I love my family. I might not know my real parents but, between foster parents, in-laws and friends, I have all the love any person could ask for. I am so truly blessed.
We really didn't buy Leonardo anything. We figured since he's so little and has no idea what's going on that we would skip the whole "put up a tree" and "spend shit loads of money" routine this year. We have many years of that to come. We might as well spare ourselves. However, just like I knew would happen he still made out like a bandit. Between the $100 his great grandma gave him and all the toys and clothes he got from his aunts, uncles and grandparents he was spoiled rotten. I spent a good while re-arranging his playroom to fit all the new toys. Here's some pics. Take special care to notice his 4 "rides". It's like he's on MTV Baby Cribs or something. LOL!!
Dan and I got lots of presents as well. We both got $100 each from his grandmother and $50 bucks each from his parents. My family is too poor for such things. LOL!! But my mom in Alliance did send our whole family a $50 Visa gift card. My parents and grandma in Massillon got us an Entertainment book(one of those giant coupon books for restaurants and movies and shit, I love them, they save you a butt load), a portable swivel sweeper broom thingy, a giant soft fluffy browns blanket and a candle.
Dan and I actually managed to scrape up enough to shop for each other this year. We haven't bought for each other for about the last 25 holidays. I got him two fitted baseball caps from the mall, a new pair of slippers and "The Simpsons Movie".
He got me a new red leather purse, a pair of 14k gold earrings, a big comfy OSU sweatshirt, a cute stretchy red t-shirt, a giant bottle of 80 proof vodka, a bottle of Aftershock(liquor), and "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix" on DVD.
I really love presents but I feel bad that we didn't really spend that much on anyone. Mostly because they all told us they wouldn't be spending anything on us. My parents all said they'd be broke and were skipping gifts. Same with Dan's parents. Butt holes!!! I hate it when they do that. But it was still nice of them to think of us. I definitely feel spoiled.
And as usual these days I'm late...but here's the "Secret of the Week" from Postsecret.com I chose it because good god damn.....she is a ho, ho, ho. LOL!!!!
So what did you all get for Christmas?? Do tell. I love hearing what people get for Christmas. Tell me what you did to. Also, if you are interested I finally uploaded all the videos from the night Dan got hypnotized. If you'd like to watch them they are at this site they are each funny in their own right. We should have just shot them all as one but we didn't really think about it at the time.
To witness Dan's crazy night, click here!
I guess that's all for this evening. I hope you all had a good day.

Hi Mom,
This is me commenting your blog. ;)
I'm really glad you enjoyed your holiday. Leonardo definitely needs one of those big tents in there or those big tunnels. Take up some major space. :)
80 proof vodka? Santa didn't bring me that!
Santa brought me a teeny tiny ipod shuffle, a leather purse, some new pots and pans, a littlle leather blazer thing which i may see if want... and a little cash/gift cards.
I think it's hilarious that you listed harry potter with vodka!
I pictured a twelve year old harry potter fan saying that! "I got harry potter for christmas! And vodka!! Best Christmas EVER!!!"
Ooooh...I want an ipod. But I want the big effin one. Meaning, I'll never get one. LOL!!! Sarah has the little one and she loves it. For some odd reason I am obsessed with the idea of putting every single song I have and then some on one device. But that's my OCD.
Harry and Vodka make an awesome combo. I'm watching it drunk just cause you said that.
i love the cat rolling on the floor! haha.

Girl, me too. I've eaten Mcdonald's like 10 times in the last week. I'm jumping back on the WW bandwagon after New Year's.
