Christmas 2010

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year!  I think we may have spoiled the kids a little bit but oh well!  They had a blast opening their presents.  The lego table turned out great and was a huge hit!  Douglas managed to give me a huge surprise this year!  I knew he was up to something but I wasn't sure what until Christmas morning. 
About a week before Christmas I was getting ready for the day and went to grab my wedding ring out of my jewelry box but it wasn't there.  I was FREAKING OUT!  I already lost a wedding ring once and I didn't want to have to replace it again.  I was in a total panic looking everywhere for it!  It didn't make sense because I knew I put it away the night before.  I called Douglas and he was surprisingly relaxed about it and told me not to worry and he was sure it would turn up soon.  Then I realized he seemed a little too relaxed about it.  He tried to make up some story about how his shirt hit my jewelry box when he was getting dressed and he was sure that it must have knocked my wedding ring out onto the floor and it must have bounced under the dresser.  Then he told me that the dresser is much too heavy for me to move by myself (which I have done a number of times) and he ordered me not to move it until he was home and could do it for me.  Then I realized that none of it made sense and he had to be up to something!
Every night when he was home I would ask him to move the dresser and he would tell me he would do it in just a minute but then never get around to it.  If my ring was really missing like it was 7 years ago he would have been more than ready to help me move anything and everything to find it.  Then he started to feel bad after a few days so he called me when I wasn't home and said he stopped by the house for a minute and found my ring and took it straight to the jewelry store to get cleaned but they said it needed to be replated so I wasn't going to get it back for a few days.  Well it did get replated but he also had them attach a brand new gorgeous wedding band too!!!!!  I had no idea that was coming!  We couldn't afford a nice wedding band when we had to replace my ring years ago so he decided it was time to get a one.  Isn't it pretty???




Here are some other Christmas pics.  We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!  Bring on the new year!!!
