A collage frame of my wedding photos, plus framed photos from my wedding of my Dad and I when he gave me away (almost cried when I saw it as I don't remember seeing the picture before) and of my Grandma and I hugging while she was still lucid and knew who I was. Almost cried then, too.

I had a lovely day with family and friends. Hung out with mom and sisters in the morning and opened presents and stockings, ate leftovers from last night. Then went to my dad's place for more presents and family time, and then went out sledding with friends, where mayhem ensued...it was really fun until my sister crashed and had her head landed on and possibly got a concussion...
(mayhem)
Then dinner with extended family.
My big most exciting present is that I got to order a new bitless bridle for my horse! I've been riding him in an ugly rope halter for years (for some reason) so this is exciting. New matching reins, too.
Also a ring, lots of nice socks, hat, new fuzzy sheets, a gorgeous dress/shirt thing, and lots of food items and soap etc.
A good day, especially since it seems like my sister is in fact ok, lol.

My mom got me a book of recipes for dog treats, a bag of Ghiradelli peppermint bark (my weakness, mmm) and a cute new wallet! My brother got me "The World Of Ice And Fire: The Untold History Of Westeros And The Game Of Thrones." My dad got me a really cool new pair of shoes since my work shoes are getting worn out.
Very happy. <3 It was a great day.

We traded little gifts all month long for Christmas, but my best gift by far was him agreeing to let me get another glider. This one is very very friendly from being hand raised as a baby. My three girls were in several neglected homes before I got them, so they are not super friendly. They are far better than they use to be though.
His name is Capitan and he's getting neutered soon so I can introduce him to the girls.
Edit: Ohhh yeah! He's leucistic, which means he is all white! The girls are all standard grey. Leucistics are very expensive, I somehow got him for almost half what they usually cost.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Spent a lovely afternoon/evening at my brother's with the rest of the family; and had a massive snowball fight all around the house with these (all 4 nieces and nephews got a half dozen each in their stockings, and I brought a sack of 55):
Received:
New jeans
A cold cast bronze statue of a Lab with a duck
Gift cards
Cash
And...
Picked her up a little before Christmas, so I guess you could consider her a gift. This is Michaela:
Got her from a rescue - about 7 months old, purported boxer/hound mix, almost 50 lbs. We weren't the only ones applying for her so we weren't holding out any great hope. Then the rescue called and said we were approved (contingent on Riley and Murphy not being pinheads). Took them to meet her on neutral ground and it was a non-event, so we picked her up a few days later.
She's settling in, we're working on housetraining and leaving the kitties alone. I do think Riley has met his match. Lol! They have a similar play/wrestling style and have been chasing each other (outside) all over the place. She's a sweetheart, too, and loves to snuggle.

My dad gave me some money, the complete Dexter series (in a 'blood slide' box - SO cool) and AppleTV :hail:
My mom got me the iPhone 6, a new pair of jeans and some stuff from Victoria's Secret!
This year I spent Christmas Eve at my moms house with my little 6 year old sister... she was SO excited this year. Then Christmas Day, I went to my dads house and spent it with his side of the family, whom we never usually see. His mom and her husband came into town so that was nice to see them this year, and his brother, his wife and kids came. Then on Saturday I'm having another Xmas with my moms family, my uncles kids are flying into town so since I missed Xmas Day with my moms side, at least I get to celebrate with them.

A bunch of sweaters, a bunch of really nice make-up, a diffuser for my essensial oils, a NEW COMPUTER, and SIMS 4! (Last two in caps cause OMG AHH). Super happy and thankful. I asked for sims 4, said it was all I wanted. My parents found out it was only for PC and we have a Mac. They let me know, and I was really disappointed but oh well, what can you do, right? Then they got me a PC so I could play sims 4. How amazing are they? :,) <3

This is the stuff from my family, we're not opening presents until New Year's Eve when I get to my boyfriend's family. All their kids are only managing to gather for New Year's so we're doing "Christmas" then.

Dogs got lots of toys (all of which Siege destroyed), chews, raw bones, and a lot of Chuck it time and table scraps
I actually didn't expect anything this year when I got the tablet, so was really pleasantly surprised!!
Aww, yay!! Congratulations Snark!
