I'm Back:) Merry Late Christmas!!

Hi my friends.... this is the first time I have been in able to sit down and blog and the first time I have been around a computer in about 4 days:)So sorry for being MIA:) I have been catching up on every one's blogs and I cant wait to upload all my Christmas pictures:) Here is a lil picture less recap of the last week:)

Last Friday: Drove to Stillwater to spend Christmas with my in laws. We went to this really fun hibachi grill and had some amazing food:)

Saturday: Did a lil Christmas shopping with my sister in law and mother in law and then went and saw the movie Despaurex... the mouse movie!It was my nephew Grant's first movie to ever go to in theater!! When then went back to my in laws and the boys made Christmas dinner. Steaks:) Then we opened gifts and it was soo much fun because our nephew is at the most fun age! He handed out all the gifts and his face lit up with excitement while doing it:)

Sunday: Went to mass with Ryan's parents and then headed back to Tulsa for my parents Christmas open house! My mom, sister, aunt and I went and got our makeup done. We love an excuse to go to Saks and get our makeup done:) Then we went back to my parents and enjoy the company of close family and friends:)

Monday: I was sick this whole day:( Very sick... no fun at all!! Monday night I was able to pull myself somewhat together to go to Zio's with my Tulsa besties and exchange gifts... This year was our third annual Christmas exchange.. We call it EAAT Christmas... we all love to eat and our initials spell Emily, Amy, Allison, Teresa... EAAT:)

Tuesday: Had the day off... finished some last minute Christmas shopping and got ready for Ryan's Christmas surprise he had planned for us:) He picked me up from our house at 3 and took me to the Rockettes:) Soo much fun! He got floor seats and it was amazing:) Then he took me ice skating in downtown and then off to dinner at our favorite Mexican place;) Then we went to my parents for a tacky Christmas Sweater party that my brother was having... My brother and his friends rented a trolley and we went all over Tulsa looking at Christmas lights! SO FUN

Wednesday: Woke up and put all of Ryan's Christmas presents out:) Ryan had to go run a few errands and I set up Christmas while he was out!! When he got back we ate lunch and then did our Christmas together! Then we headed to my parents to drop our stuff off and go to the Christmas mass! After mass we went to our family friends the Armstrong's and celebrated Christmas there. My family has been spending Christmas Eve with the Armstrong's forever! It is always sooo sooo much fun:) After dinner we went back to my mom and dads and opened one gift.. always a pair of pjs:) Then we all headed to my sisters room and slept in there... bad idea: 4 people and 3 dogs= no sleep:) But it was a tradition!!

Thursday: Woke up at 830 and ran out to see if Santa came;) Yes Santa still sets all our gifts outs for us:) Opened gifts.. ate breakfast...showered and headed to OKC. We went to my dads side of the family first and celebrated there and then headed to Norman to spend Christmas with my moms side!! Ate good food and spent lots of quality time with family! We then went to my Gaw Gaw and Paw Paws and spent the night. Always so nice to spend time with them! Didn't sleep well that night either because they are older and keep the temp in the house on 80! YES 80! Ryan and I were sweating horribly in our sleep:)

Friday: Woke up and went to lunch with Gaw Gaw and Paw Paw and then went and saw Marley and Me... GREAT movie... but very sad.... I was bawling like boo... hoooing!! ha!! Then we loaded up and headed back home. My grandparents always cry when we leave. Breaks my heart! Wish we lived closer! Last night we had a total chill night... we ate pizza and Ryan worked on his new receiver and surround sound... He has been working on it for 7 hours and just now as I type... he finally hooked it up:) He is dancing around the room with excitement:))

Can't wait to share more memories, pictures and read every one's elses blogs... I have missed you guys... I tell a lot of stories about blog friends.. Ryan is always like.. so how do you make a blog friend... don't know if men will ever really get it:)

Happy Weekend:)
