My New Beauty...

This is my early Christmas present from my husband. It's UH-MAZING! There's so many things that it does and so many applications that I can download for it. I've been playing on it non-stop and we got it Wednesday evening. Edgar got the T-Mobile MyTouch and he loves it. We never really have a surprise Christmas because we are just too excited to give each other presents. We tried this year-but as you can see....we already have the main gift to each other. I think we are going to get each other tennis shoes(because we DEFINATELY need them) and those will be a surpise. We adopted a child at the school I work at so we went shopping for him and bought him 3 outfits and 2 toys.

We gave a $35 limit on each kid. So far we have bought for our nieces Miranda & Adriana and Edgar's little brother, Poncho. We got Miranda and Poncho a DS game....one the new super mario bros and another mario vs sonic winter olympic games. We got our niece Adriana some yellow headphones (for her IPOD) and a $25 I Tunes card. I think we are giving my older niece Cristina and Edgar's other brother Erick a $50 giftcard to somewhere. We figure since their both 17, they can get a little more on their gift. We're not sure what to get our new nephew Robson. I was thinking of getting him a bond or something that he can have later in life, because really-who is going to remember their 1st christmas at 2 1/2 months!?!?!

We drew names for the adults and since my nephew and his Fiance(long story!) are graduated they are officially in the adult category. Edgar and I drew both of their names, which was really funny to me. Soooo we bought them baby stuff. They are expecting a baby in April, a little boy, and he's a HUGE Virginia Tech fan so we found this last night on the computer....

Today I get to take 24 Kinder kids over to the high school for our Adopt-A-Kid program. This is where the highschool classrooms all adopt 2-3 kids and bring them gifts and have a party for the less fortunate that were nominated by their teacher. I loved doing this when I was in high school-I'm excited it's still going on. I better get going, we're leaving soon!

Happy Holidays!


This ornament says "Our first Christmas Together 2009". We got it to celebrate our year of marriage.



Today, Edgar and I went to Target and bought our Christmas tree. I <3 it. I'm seriously loving starting our own Holiday traditions as a married couple. Our tradition this year was picking out a "theme" and I let hubby do the honors. He chose the red&white/silver theme, and I rolled with it. When we got home, we couldn't just have them sitting in the boxes, so we decorated the tree together. When he started to comment about having "too much" stuff...I let him know there was no such thing. I am currently jammin out to the *NSYNC Christmas CD. :) I know your jealous. ;)


Here's our 1st Christmas tree as a married couple! Wahoo.
