Christmas Eve was a day to chillax at the pool, get some presents, do some homework and work and go to church. Mom and I spent the morning at the pool until our tummies (or at least mine) was growling. Then, mom couldn't wait to "open gifts".
The wireless keyboard and mouse was wonderful. I watch a lot of TV through the computer now, so I can type from the couch and still have my laptop hooked up. The umbrella was helpful with the afternoon showers.
And the most expensive gift....$200 handle of Captain. Well, we determined while it didn't cost that much, it was probably worth that much. Alcohol here is so expensive! A regular bottle of Smirnoff is like $75+ or something crazy like that. And there's no Captain here. I think it must be an American thing.
I had a couple of presents arrive early this year and didn't wait to open them :). Thanks to Shaun for the great cookies that didn't last long! And thanks to the Keefe's for my Kindle ca$h! I'm reading so much more now with the Kindle.
And because it was a lazy day, we don't have many pictures. Instead, enjoy all our flower pics from the Botanical Gardens along with one last Christmas song.

*I've been good about updating posts lately. Although I'm not sure how well I can keep it up. I'll try :).
You should keep up the posting, I love reading :) I LOVE that your mom brought Captain. Mark always asked for me to bring The Captain when he lived in Italy. And Twizzlers. I can't believe how expensive the booze is there, that's ridic! Are cigarettes expensive?
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures from the gardens, and your hair cut is ADORABLE!!!
I have to credit my brother for the Captain :). Cigarettes are expensive as well S$10+ per pack and they have those disgusting pictures all over the packs that they're talking about implementing in the U.S. So US$7.50+.
