Love is buying your husband the game he's been dying for, and hot apple cider with ice cubes so he doesn't burn his tongue.

Love is a brand new camera and perfume!  He wanted me to be able to take pictures of our family Christmas so we just had to open our presents early.  Our previous camera was free therefore it took horrible pictures.  Basically my phone took better ones so that's all I've been using lately.  Now I have to sit down and figure out how to take better pictures!

Love is having a hilarious family and an inside joke, therefore giving us a rooster for Christmas every year.  This year they might have overdone it just a little bit, really guys?!?

We did Christmas a little early just the two of us and this past Sunday was Christmas with Daniel's family since we will be out of townn on the actual day.  There is nothing better than being together with family and your belly hurting from laughing so hard.
