Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Christmas! I am working throughout the Christmas holiday while Alex is back in Hartsville with family. I went to Hartsville last Saturday and came back Wednesday night since I had to work Thursday. Alex drove there Sunday night after work. He has been in Hartsville all week! He will be here tomorrow (Christmas day) night when I get home from work. I can't wait to see Alex and spend Christmas night with him! Alex and I opened Christmas gifts from our parents while I was there. My parents gave us a digital picture frame (which I had been wanting) and 2 brown leather ottomans for our house. Alex's parents gave us a Cuisinart-Keurig single serve brewing station (which I REALLY wanted since I love coffee)! I also got a pearl bracelet to wear with my wedding dress. Alex got some new Rainbow sandals to take to Jamaica! We got together at Alex's parent's house Tuesday night to eat dinner. They invited my mom over to eat with us (my dad was working). We were sitting down eating when all of a sudden Lauren, Anna, & Katherine busted through the door and surprised us! I didn't think I was going to get to see the girls while I was there since I had to come back before Christmas. Lauren had told us that she wasn't coming to Hartsville until Christmas Eve! I was so sad that I was going to miss them since I hadn't seen them for a while. I LOVE those little girls! Alex knew about them coming early and kept the secret from me! I was so glad I got to see them before I had to come back to Mount Pleasant. The next morning we went over to take the girls their Christmas presents so I could watch them open them before I left to drive back to Charleston. We got Anna a Fur-real dog that walks on a leash, barks, whimpers when it falls over, and turns it's head when you pet it. She loved it! Katherine got a pink pig pillow pet. We had so much fun with them! Thanks Lauren for surprising me! Merry Christmas everyone!!!
