Belated Merry Christmas!!

[misora]

Had a wonderful holiday! Mom & stepdad just left after 3 days, and now our house feels a little empty.

Our haul this year was amazing:

- baby clothes and blankets from Dad
- cash (an absurd amount; I think we netted close to $1K this time...sadly, 80% will go into savings for baby!)
- crockpot from bro (I can't wait to cook with it)
- Xbox Kinect system + Dance Central from John's sisters (demo'd it on Christmas day - ohmygod so fun)
- lotions and knicknacks, including some wonderful soaps and belly butter..yummm
- food & drink, of course
- Samsung HD handheld camcorder for John (from me)
- alarm clock & sound therapy system
- rocking chair for the baby's room (from Mom & stepdad)

and this:





1.68 ct. sapphire and diamonds on platinum. He finally made an honest woman out of me. ;)

We decided we'd put off the wedding celebration until after the baby's birth. But for now we'll get the paperwork done, and make it official. (I guess this means I need to change my name. Eeek!)

OMG look at that rock! Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you:) That is a very lovely ring; I too adore sapphires. I'm kinda in favor of a little JP wedding followed with the public wedding with guests. I did it myself with just dinner at our favorite restaurant after and it was nice to have that intimacy of just the 2 1/2of you(bunny's vote is with mommy till it can raise its own hand) before the event to include the rest of the family. I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Thank you!

When did you get married? Congrats! I too kind of favor a small-ish ceremony; the really big deal will be the Chinese banquet next year (where we rent out a restaurant for all of John's family), and I'd just as soon save money/make the ceremony a smaller, private thing.

I hope your New Year is happy as well!!
