What I got!!!

I GOT AN E READER!

If anyone knows me, you know that I read like crazy and that I've always wanted an ereader. Randy surprised the crap outta me and picked up one of these bad boys for me:


It's the "Literati" Wireless EReader. I'm obsessed! I've already bought "Unbearable Lightness" by Portia de Rossi. I can't put it down!

Randy also got me perfume, six gossip magazines, Kardashian Konfidential, and some nice shampoo.

We've spent Christmas playing Black Ops. I got a pink controller! I can kill a zombie like no one's business.

I thought I would be really sad on Christmas since everyone is out of town, but we really made it special, and I couldn't have asked for a better first married christmas!

Tonight Randy and I went shopping for Annaleen's stocking. We ended up buying her a couple more presents.

Randy picked out a big box of girly legos, and a remote controlled car. Yeah, he wishes Annaleen was a boy apparently. It works because Annaleen is such a tomboy sometimes. I already wrapped all the presents too.

We're having our Christmas on Sunday with Annaleen. She's going on a vacation with her mom's family for Christmas and New Years so we won't see her until January. Sometimes it's just really hard that we don't see her very much. My parents and Megan are coming over and we're going to have a nice lunch, then we'll have to take her back home. All I know is that I am really going to treasure my time with her on Sunday.

We bought her some books and of course we still have all the other presents we've gotten her. She's so spoiled, but it's worth it! I'm just excited to put her stocking together. It really makes me feel like a mom when I do that kind of stuff. It was the same when I put her birthday party together in March. I love that little girl, and I'm so happy that I get to spend time with her!

Before we went shopping we worked all day. We've been craving sushi FOREVER! So we decided to splurge and went to an amazing sushi restaurant called Kinjo's. We used to go all the time, maybe even every week! We walked in there, and the host said WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? He is the funniest guy, and we ended up getting a bunch of free food. I love it there, and all you Calgary people better go! We even were joking with the host that he was going to steal Randy and I said that's fine as long as he brings sushi home with him. It was a really great night! :)

It's nights like these that I really appreciate everything I have, and that even though we're saving our pennies sometimes you just need to throw out the budget and do something nice! Hopefully we'll be able to find another way to make some extra money, but for now I'm a happy woman with my cute little family!

Enough of my blabbering, I just wanted to say I appreciate you blog readers! Please comment and let me know you're here! :) I promise I comment back!

I just came across his videos a couple days ago and I'm obsessed. Can you say amazing and talented?

I just let it slip to Randy that I would marry Mike...but I added on "if he was hot." Nice save Melissa!








Seriously watch them all, you'll be glued to the screen!!! :)

This past weekend we had Annaleen and we had way too much fun. We went to see Tangled. I have to say it's the best movie I've seen in a long time! It was so cute, and Annaleen was obsessed. After that, we were at the mall anyways so we went shopping. There are these weird statue people. Annaleen was having so much fun taking pictures in front of them! She's a funny girl.



This was the only statue that didn't interact with Annaleen, but still Annaleen had to have a picture!

This guy was hilarious. He had his arms on his belly and right when I took the picture he moved and looked like he was scaring Annaleen. She had no idea!

This is the first one that we saw. Annaleen was so happy she said "This is incredible!" Everyone was laughing and calling her the cutest little girl. The fairy winked at her :)

On Sunday (the next day) we went swimming at Southland Leisure. I love swimming with my family, and especially at this one! There's so much for us to do. Annaleen was jumping into the deep end, going down really fast slides, and going off the diving board. She's a little daredevil! After we swam we went to my parent's house and made some sugar cookies. I didn't have make up or do my hair so I'll just show you this picture. We had a blast
And Annaleen definitely has my mom wrapped around her little finger. They were playing with my mom's nativity.


I'll have more pictures to show when we do our Christmas with Annaleen in a week! Merry Christmas!!

I just have to say this:

WHO WOULD FIRE SOMEONE RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

You're a really mean grinch!
