So today was the big day....the day Amelia looks forward to!
This year we didn't do much and I really enjoyed that.
We slept in. I made biscuits and gravy. Amelia opened her stocking and found all the goodies inside!
We actually opened gifts on the 24th. Amelia got some Wii games and the movie UP. She also got computer speakers. I gave her $100 bucks for her birthday which she spent on cute clothes and lots of Hot Wheels and accessories. We had a good time shopping around!
I got Doug some tools. He got me some clothes. We promised each other not to spend much on each other. We prefer to get things together for the house. So we did some small gifts. I really don't need much and didn't really want much. BUT Doug's aunt got me a Razorback snuggie and I'm just totally giggly over it.
Today I made an apple pie from scratch. Peeled the apples, sliced them and mixed all the ingredients. I also made dinner rolls from scratch. I've never used yeast before! I made all kinds of food. Turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed taters and not that powdered crap. I also made orange and cranberry bread from scratch. I was playing Martha Stewart today. Things from scratch taste so much better than stuff from the box!!
Overall we had a nice pleasant and relaxing day.
