Christmas 2011 - Roosevelt

Better late than never on getting pictures up.

Terrell and I made the trip out to Roosevelt for Christmas this year. We hadn't been out there for Christmas since Owen was first born. And when we went then, I felt bad because it seemed like we had tons to open and everyone kept looking at us saying, "Terrell and Shelby have another one!" So I was a bit nervous to bring out ALL our presents, since now I spoil my kids more and there are 2 of them. I am awful. Terrell told me not to worry about it and just bring them all. My worries got put by the wayside when we arrived Christmas eve and you could only see about the top 3 feet of the tree. The rest was COVERED. And Santa hadn't even come yet.

Owen had such a great time waking up Chistmas morning. Santa brought him a Transformer scooter. He is into anything Transformer right now.

Desi loves to help mommy with anything she is doing so Santa thought she would like a cleaning set of her own. He was right. She swept and mopped all day!!! She is also a very GIRLY GIRL and loves baby dolls and purses. She carried those everywhere she went.

Terrell got a Wii. He shows no emotion so I don't know how much he loves it.

I think I was the most suprised out of everyone. In remodeling the house, I told Terrell that our front room is something that I want to do exactly how I wanted and hold nothing back. So, my idea was a loveseat, 2 wingback chairs, and a sofa table. He looked at me like I was dreaming when he found out how much wingback chairs were (around 500 dollars each). My sister stumbled upon some used chairs and Terrell and I decided to try and re-upholster them ourselves. It was mostly Terrell that did the work. But they turned out great.

Here is the old ugly-ness!!!

And these are the new awesome-ness!

So, the only thing left in my room was a sofa table. THAT is what I got for Christmas. I was SOO suprised. Terrell had arranged for his sister to pretend to do a girls day out, when really it was just a cover up for him building this for me. I know, I am spoiled. It looks so great and now my room is finally done!!!!

We all had a great time with the family and celebrating together.
