Huntley Christmas

If you followed my blog, which none of you probably do, there has been nothing since thanksgiving. Some of you may think that we simply have done nothing of consequence and that Christmas never even happened but that would be a lie a ton has happened and I have been a terrible blogger.

First we went to Boise, it was a busy 5 days as Brent helped his brother renovate his parents down stairs and I relaxed on the couch playing with neices and nephews (Mainly Tyler who is always a blast to hang out with she is such a chill tween I love it!). We beat his parents at cards a whole bunch of times until Brent finally decided that he can not play anymore because it isn't challenging anymore. I think 2 years of compulsive game play is a pretty good run for one game so I am not to sad to see it end. There have been talks about me learning to play ROOK but I am just not sure that I see that happening. We went up to Christi's for Christmas day and it was a blast. We Bingo and although I am always afraid we are going to leave with a ton of clutter I am always happy with what we bring home. Overall it was a fun fun time but Brent's mom went over the top with Presents. Here is a list off the top of my head,

Mallory Brent
Jeans Mario Kart for the Wii
2 oz cups (1200 of them!) PJ Pants
Toe nail stencils 2nd Wii controller
Michi Purse (with 12 covers!) Chocolate

Plus two big shopping bags of little things like homemade hot coco, ear phones, head scratchers and a ton of other stuff. I was so excited. Jason and Christina had us in the Sibling exchange and also overspent their budget by a ton! They got us a steam mop, which we got and LOVE!!! Our kitchen floor actually looks clean (expect blog in the future) and foot massage that broke after one use. When we took it back they were all out so we got another walmart gift card. We made out like bandits.

Presents are definitely a focus at the Huntley house and I can always get inboard because I love buying presents for people more than I love getting them! Just ask Brent!

This Christmas we decided to not get each other presents... well I never had any real intention of following my own rule and neither did Brent. He bought me a beautiful pearl necklace and Tyler bought me the matching earrings to go with it! I wore it the entire break because I don't want them to get damaged at work!

I love my pearls but I got Brent something a little more... I got him slippers, toilet bowl cleaner (his favorite) a wii baseball game (which he played the entire weekend), and four tickets to a mariners baseball game. I got a super good deal on everything but Brent was pretty upset with me and I could enjoy watching him open the presents more! His dad commented on my big smile the entire time.

You would think that nothing could top mariners tickets for someone who only joined twitter to get updates but something did, and it wasn't from me. What was it you ask...

A NINTENDO WII!!!!

I told my mom how Brent had wanted one really bad and she needed no other convincing and went an bought him one! Because of a great deal I also got a $50 walmart gift card which I wasn't expected. I was also threatened that if I used it on groceries I would have to pay my mom back the money... don't worry I didn't by groceries (expect post soon!)

Brent's Parents basement was also finished while we were there and it looks pretty amazing. It was once full to the brim but it is now carpeted, painted and beautiful.

Christmas is always a good time, especially at the Huntley house, and we can't wait until next year!
