A Christmas of Our Very Own

Christmas morning was great after an awful Christmas Eve night!  I didn't get many pictures because too much was going on.  Cullen and Eden did NOT want to be awake!  Anyway, I was surprised to find two teddy bears under the tree!  It was the cutest thing I had ever seen!  Jeremy had gotten lil miss Eden Rose two Christmas bears to start her tradition and collection!  I hadn't even thought about that!  See, as I was growing up I got a new Christmas bear or a set of bears every Christmas.  I had a lot of them.  When Jeremy and I got married, he took over and kept getting me bears every year for Christmas.  Then two days after Christmas in 2003 my parents house caught fire and burnt to the ground.  They had all my bears at their house because at the time our apartment was too small for the plethora of bears.  So, no more Christmas bears for me!  It was so sad.  I wish I had taken a picture of them all.  But, then all the pictures burnt in the fire too.  *sigh*  Now my baby girl can have her own collection of bears......




Christmas Day we opened gifts.  Jeremy got me an awesome Pink Floyd jacket that I had my eye on when we went to the concert!!! I LOVE it!!!  He also got me the weed wacker that I have been asking for years for!  It's craftsman and battery powered.  Sweet! And other things too..... The kids made out like bandits!  Especially in the lego department!

I didn't know about the bear tradition. That is very cute. There Jeremy goes again being all sweet and sentimental. :)
