Merry Christmas to Me!

It wasn't until a couple of hours into our Christmas morning festivities that my kids realized that Mommy hadn't opened any gifts. That's mostly because I hadn't realized myself that there was nothing under the tree for me until late on Christmas Eve.

Mommy's stocking wasn't even filled.

Oops. I guess I must have been bad this year.

I can't complain though. Not at all. My parents had sent me a Barnes & Noble gift certificate that has long been spent. And my husband sent me an e-mail.

It wasn't any ordinary e-mail though. Oh sure, he told me he loved me and how awesome I am. (My mom taught me to train my man young.) But he also included this picture.

And it was accompanied by the question, "What color do you want?"

Well, I couldn't decide and it took us until this past weekend to finally get it all picked out, but here is, by far, the most expensive Christmas gift I've ever received.



Isn't it pretty? My husband says I deserve it. I'm not going to argue with that.

Nothing says, "I love you!" like a brand new Mazda CX-9.
