One Spoiled Girl

Michael and I, knowing that this was our last Christmas alone, decided to spoil each other a bit. I didn't know just how spoiled I was going to be though. I was so surprised and excited to find these presents under our tree:

We have been looking at new cameras for awhile now. We have a pretty good Sony that we got for our honeymoon about four years ago, but it is kind of bulky and it takes forever to snap the actual picture. With Patrick on the way, we needed something that took GREAT pictures, was fast and I could easily transport. I love this camera so far. I took it outside for our first snow and took great pictures of Rocky and Michael playing. The pictures snapped fast, and only one was blurry. This is amazing since Rocky runs around like a complete crazy person in snow!We have the Dyson Animal vacuum and I LOVE it. I did NOT want to spend that kind of money on a vacuum, but since the minute I broke down and brought it home it has been worth EVERY penny. I had just vacuumed with our old vacuum, and wanted to still try out the Dyson....you should have seen the amount of hair I sucked up. With four animals, this vacuum has come in handy. When I saw they made a handheld, I almost fainted. It was a dream for this girl with OCD when it comes to cleaning the house. I used it the day I got it and LOVE it.

This present was technically for his parents and grandparents, but it doesn't matter! I am the only person in our house who drinks coffee, so making a pot every morning is quite ridiculous. I didn't even think about owning something like this, but now that I have it, I am in love. It only takes about 3 minutes to set up, not to mention with the little individual pods you use clean up is so easy. No coffee grinds everywhere! I received pods for coffee and hot chocolate. I can use my own coffee with the filter Michael got me, or I could just make hot tea and get hot water. I. Love. It.

And if that wasn't good enough, Christmas afternoon I was surprised with this beauty...
On our cruise this summer, my Mom got a ring similar to this but with a flower design in the blue diamond. She is a ring person, and has too many to count. I only have my wedding ring, and am not a big jewelry girl. I found this simple design on the boat and fell in love. I looked at it numerous times but couldn't commit myself. Instead I secretly hoped my husband would get the hint and get it for me instead. We returned home and I didn't think about it again. I left the room on Christmas day for a few minutes, and came back to a tin container on my seat. I had absolutely no clue. I knew from the box inside the tin that it was jewelry but had no idea this was inside. Needless to say, the surprise of it all and pregnancy hormones made me cry like a baby.

Michael received XBox and the Kinect, which he hinted about but I was adamant I was NOT buying it! He also got a watch he had been eying up and the Powermat and accessories for all of his gadgets. I also got a game for his Wii and then little goodies. I hope he liked everything I got for him after seeing how much I was spoiled!

I know Christmas is definitely not all about the presents, and I am so thankful that I could spend it with my amazing husband and family, but the goodies did not hurt! I am enjoying every minute because next year it is all about Patrick!
