This year for Christmas, Jarod wanted to spoil me. He refused to let me spend much of our Christmas money on him, and tried to surprise me with bigger gifts. I say
tried because he isn't that great of a 'surpriser'. As early as October, we would be wandering through Sam's Club and he would stop at a Kitchenaid Mixer. He would call his mom and ask her if it was a better deal than most. Right then I got the impression that that was one thing he was going to get me. When I confronted him on such a matter, he of course denied it profusely. When we visited his family in Boise we went for a little Christmas shopping. I was sent away with my sister-in-law and Jarod took off with his Mother. When we hooked back up, he wanted to show me the
blue Kitchenaid Mixer from Williams- Sonoma. I said it was pretty and that I would like something like that... all the while thinking that he had already gotten it for me. We took home a gift he had bought that day and it was big and heavy and -wouldn't you know it - it was from Williams-Sonoma too!
Christmas arrived and I opened my big gift, can you guess what I got? You see, It is so hard to surprise me because I will catch on to little comments and tones in other's voices. Below are a few pictures of what we got for Christmas this year.

And Something Fun to Add to Jarod's Ever Growing Super Hero Collection
The rest of what we got for Christmas from our families were things like an xbox and wii fit from my family, and a set of new tires, pottery barn dishes, and new fender flares for Jarod's truck, and extra cash from Jarod's family. Jarod's sister got us a candy dish/jar, and Ryan got us candy and something for a Nintendo DS. Konnor got me a few baby sign items and Jarod another action figure. All in all, we had a great Christmas and it was so much fun seeing our families.
