Christmas Part 1

We had our own little celebration the Sunday before Christmas since we were flying to Washington to be with Brandon's family. We couldn't take all of our gifts to each other with us, so we decided to have a Christmas Part 1!
Here is our fun Christmas picture! It turned out pretty good, huh?Melissa holding her Christmas orange! We got them in our stockings from Santa. :)This is Melissa's stocking! She made the whole thing herself! It reminds her of her family's dog, Happy. :)Here's Brandon showing off his new shirt and tie that he got from Mom and Dad Dodds! They look great on him!Brandon got a niiiiiice pair of Mickey Mouse slippers. He loves to wear them because they are "super warm and comfy!"

Melissa shows off her new Tinkerbell pj's without actually putting them on. ;)

So, Melissa was at work at The Disney Store one day, and saw that they had gotten in a new PRINCESS blanket. She called Brandon as soon as her shift was over and told him, "So, is there still room in the Melissa's Christmas budget for one more thing?" Brandon said there was, so he was a very sweet husband and got it for his sweetie! :) She loves it and uses it a lot!

Melissa got lots of wonderful gifts from her dear Brandon: the princess blanket, ABBA's Greatest hits CD, Tinkerbell PJ's, a princess calendar, princess Uno, and an Anastasia DVD! She also got a REALLy cute dress from Mom and Dad Dodds, along with leggings to wear under it, and jewelry! Thanks everyone!

Brandon's collection consisted of the shirt and tie from Mom and Dad Dodds, a Mickey Mouse long sleeve T-shirt, Mickey slippers, a pair of warm, non-ski gloves, and new socks! (Needless to say, we took advantage of Melissa's discount at work. ;)

Kristin, Joe, Jenna and Jacob were all so sweet to get us this adorable book! Melissa and her sisters used to read it every Christmas when they were little! There are many wonderful memories with this story, and we hope our future children will enjoy it just as much as they have! :)

Although these are Disney movies, we didn't get them at the Disney Store. Target was having an awesome after Thanksgiving sale: Disney movies $7.99 each! What a deal!

These are more of the Christmas cookies that we made. We had lots of fun making them! :)

Christmas Part 1 was really fun! Stay tuned for Christmas Part 2 where we spend Christmas day with Brandon's family in Everett, Washington!
