S-A-N-T-A C-L-A-U-S! Hurray for Santy Claus!

all my christmas decorations are down. i took them down last night and now i just have to hide them in the closet until next year. i got so many good gifts. the kids and derek got good stuff, too. derek's mom made us a new quilt for our bed. the back was so pretty i thought it was the top. then she told me to open it up and the top was even prettier! so, today, mom is coming over and she's gonna help me rearrange my living room so i can fit my new elliptical machine in! hurray! i've been wanting one for so long and derek completely surprised me with it! it was waiting at someone else's house and i got a picture of it inside of a box, inside of a box, inside of a bag. derek's mom wrapped it. i almost started to tear up. it was the most thoughtful gift.

You already have your decorations down? You don't like to savor and relish in the after-Christmas glow?

the part that made you tear up is that you wanted it so bad. yay for derek! most women would be ticked off if hubby got an exercise thingy... hehehe.

i know. in general, we women don't want gifts that say we need improvement, but i really wanted this. i also would have loved a food processor, even if that means i should stay in the kitchen.

I thought you were supposed to leave decorations up till Epiphany, I usually do so I can be lazy about it for a little bit, plus, more Christmas tree. Can you take pictures of your quilt and machine for us? please.
