I was obviously good this year, at least I convinced Santa!

Papa Ware has instilled in Chad some wonderful traits such as being a Christian leader, putting his family first, hard work ethic, but, the very best thing that Chad got from his dad was the desire to spoil his wife at Christmas! I had heard before my first Christmas with the Wares that Sandy is always the last opening presents because Harry gives her so much! I never really thought my accountant husband would be that way, if you know him you know what I am talking about! Chad has given me great gifts the last few Christmas's but, this year he went OVER THE TOP! I am in complete shock that he did this. Do not think I am bragging because all the other holidays of the year, Chad does not go out very much at all. This year was a huge suprise and I never am suprised, honestly I always opened my gifts before Christmas and wrapped them back! This year Chad went overboard to say the least, I doubt this Christmas can be topped! He says he gets me a gift I need, want, and can use. He got me all gifts I want, need, and can use!

Every year Chad gets me a Arthur Court piece. I am a fan of the Grapevine collection, and he suprises me every year with a new piece. I really don't expect it either! This is not the original piece he bought, but he did pick it out. He gave me a deviled egg holder because he thought it looked good to decorate with, I do use my pieces for decor but, I also like to get use out of them. He picked this one out next, and I LOVE it! Below it is my new Bible! I throw my Bible into Harry's diaper bag and it is not looking to hot! Chad gave me this adorable metal cover Bible for my convience! Good job, Honey! This is my FAVORITE GIFT EVER! Chad made a memory book of our family's big events of 2007! He has never really done anything this creative so, it came as another big shock! I could look at it over and over for hours! He is totally running out of future gift ideas! Two weeks ago Chad took me to Express and said, "I want to make it where you can not complain about not having any pants anymore!" So he told me to pick out a few pairs! I chose 3 and a top! I was suprised but, at the time thought it was my only Christmas present from him, so I took advantage! I love Editor pants!

Honestly, I was not really expecting any more, then I look in my stocking! This is what I found! A very sweet letter that insists on having someone come clean out house. I constantly complain about bathrooms and our kitchen floor, it will be nice to not have to worry about cleaning them. Chad is taking on the job of finding someone, I have a friend who stays at home down the street who is interested in the extra cash. Another big hit for CHAD! Just when I thought he could not even possibly give me anything else, I even was assuming that I would not get anything for the rest of the year, he pulled another one on me! He told me he was getting me a lap top! I was baffled, I have wanted one but, didn't think I had to have one so I really didn't push for it! Boy, am I excited! I scored big this year! Santa Baby was good to me! This is motivation to be good next year!

Now for what Santa gave Harry! We mixed a few of Chad's family's traditions with a few of my family's traditions to create OUR family traditions! Harry woke up this morning(super sick, not a tradition) and was greeted by his tool bench Santa made for him! We left cookies out the whole time we were gone so Santa would not leave empty handed, and he left us a note!

Santa's foot prints from the cookies to his new toy! Harry didn't feel very good, so the tool bench wasn't played with that much today! Maybe tomorrow! Thank you Santa for being so good to me and Harry!

I wasn't as prepared this year to give our Santa as many gifts as he gave us, I would have been in big trouble if I had anyway! We love our Santa! We love our Santa if he gave us no gifts at all but, it is a perk!
