Going to celebrate Christmas with Brads family.
We got to his parents house around 8:30am and his Grandpa Gibbs was there to watch the opening of presents which him and Betty do every year.
Beth and Paul finally showed up around 9 and when they did it was time to open presents. Well Brad and I were told we had to go first so Gretchen handed Brad a card and told him to read it out loud. So he opens the card and started to read the card and Gretchen said "not the card the note" so this is what Brad read out loud...
It's the first Christmas season
And the family will sing...
we're so happy Brad finally gave
Amy a ring!
Now the two become one
On some special day next year,
For a wedding you'll plan
To bring all fun and cheer.
So on this special Christmas
Let togetherness be your theme
As you work with on another
To find your big present as a team.
Let love be your guide
As you follow the clues,
For this present I know
You both want and can use.
Go first to the room
Where mirrors were broken
And look on a uniform where
The next clue will be spoken.
So we were off to the wreck room which is upstairs and there in the closet was another clue
Proceed to the place
where washing is done.
Your next clue will be hiding
Up above everyone.
Back down stairs to the laundry room and on top of the vanity was yet another clue
The next place you need look
is where a loved on does snooze.
The doll's innocent gaze
will show you the direction to use.
Yes back up stairs to their bed room where a doll in the room is looking at the dresser where the next clue is sitting
Brad used to call this person
"Jophes," how sweet!
Your next clue will be hiding
right under his feet.
Josephs is in the nativity seen and under his feet was our next clue
You're on the right track,
the next place you will go
is where once you did rest,
where Mom now does sew.
So, once again we run upstairs to Brads old bedroom and another clue is sitting on the sewing machine.
You're almost done,
so pay attention once more.
Look under a blanket
next to the back door.
We look at each other and sprinted down the stairs to the back room where sitting on the floor was our Christmas gift from Mike and Gretchen...
Look below and you will see. Brad and i were speechless and so excited.
This is our 42' flat screen TV!
It fits perfectly on our stand...
Sports Center was on already!
Sports Center was on already!
Thank You Mike and Gretchen we LOVE it...
I don't have any pictures yet of what my parents got us, it just completed our perfect Christmas. We got the bedding outfit that we wanted and is it amazing. I cannot wait to get everything done to get pictures on here, it's going to look awesome. Thank you Mom and Dad, we missed you today but will see you soon.
