Al and I had felt like we kinda splurged on our respective birthdays so we had decided not to get each other anything for Christmas. And I hadn't. He cheated and bought me a couple pairs of fun high heel shoes that I had been wanting, but nothing else. But, Al had a surprise waiting for him at his parent's house on Christmas. He wasn't expecting anything...maybe a shirt or tool or something from his parents, but what he got was....
a really big surprise!! I am never able to surprise Al, he always guesses and or figures everything out. This year I got him!! He absolutely positively was not expecting the Ipad he got!!!! Love it love it love it!!!
These are two of Al's uncles who said I must be hard up for pictures if I have nothing better to take pictures of than them sitting there!!!

I took these guys again cuz Casey thought I should have a picture of them with their pictures?!:)
I don't have a picture here of everybody or everything, but I tried to encompass all that it was. It was full of family and love and lots and lots of fun!!! We're always sad to see everyone go, but we loved every minute we got to spend with everyone!!! It was definitely a very Merry Christmas 2011!
