The past few Christmases Brian and I have decided on a certain amount of money to spend on each other. (Usually about $100-150) Then we actually buy and wrap our own presents and are pretty surprised to see what we got for each other on Christmas morning. The funny part is the kids don't know we do this. (Well, Brinley does because I told her...or she figured it out. I can't remember which.) So when Brian opens a box of random tools that don't look anything like any normal tools he will say something like "Awe, thank you! How did you know I needed these hand planes?" Or I will open a new necklace and he will say "I thought you might love it." It's kind of fun and we have enjoyed our inside joke.
This Christmas I mostly just had one big gift. "He" bought me tickets for a girls night out to see Legally Blonde. I felt a little badly that I was leaving him out in the cold but it was on a Wednesday night and that is just complicated. If I took Brinley then Bri could be home to get everyone to and from school and sports and church and fed and bed.
I am also feeling a little bit of anxiousness as Brinley is soon to be graduating and leaving for college. We've got to utilize our time! We had a fabulous evening together. We enjoyed a nice dinner at Olive Garden, stopped by the Birdies for a few minutes and then headed to the show. It was a really fun show. My least favorite song was unfortunately the main chorus. It said the Lord's name in vain over and over. Disappointing. Our two favorite parts were the "Bend and Snap" with the UPS guy and the courtroom scene "Gay or European." Thanks for a great Christmas gift my Bri and thanks for being my girls night date Brinley Kate!
