Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

So this year was absolutely fabulous! I bought some of the best gifts for people this year. I got my mom this awesome walking trails book that listed all of the trails in Western Connecticut. She was really happy when she opened it so it made me feel 10 times better about picking it out.

I got my brother some PJ pants, gave my grandmother a picture of a lighthouse that I took in September (she loves lighthouses) and my grandfather received a book of all of the news articles that cycled during World War II, which he is a veteran of.

And of course, I bought Allan what he told me he REALLY wanted me to add to the registry..... A popcorn maker. Not exactly the most romantic gift ever, but he really wanted one so I caved and bought it. We opened it up when we got home  and made our first batch of popcorn with it.

Now, you may wonder what I got. So I'll tell you!

Allan knew I needed a new computer because my old one was about 7 years old and wasn't doing ANYTHING anymore. I was doing all of my photo work on his laptop (which I am sure was getting old for him).

Well, he went to my mom and grandparents and together bought me a new computer that would run everything I needed it to. So now, I am typing on my new machine, and it's awesome! He also bought me an external hardrive to back up all of my pictures from my Photography business so I can get them off of his laptop.

I got the usual odds and ends and useful things, oh and I forgot to mention the best part.... Allan gave me a case of Apple Streudel pop tarts! Now you may be wondering *why* would I want a case of pop tarts for Christmas?? Well, in 2007 I took an internship with Disney in Orlando, FL. I did all of my grocery shopping at the Walmart Supercenter that was near my apartment. They happened to carry Apple Struedel pop tarts (which I had never seen before), bought them, and got hooked. After I came home, I checked every grocery store and Walmart for these pop tarts and no one had them. Many times, Allan was with me and saw me go on the hunt for them and find nothing.

Well, He won't tell me where he found them, but he bought me a case of these pop tarts. That means I have 12 boxes of Apple Struedel pop tarts!

So yes, I was rather excited over pop tarts! Hahaha.
