I am sitting on this quiet evening by the light of our Christmas tree. I love Christmas trees. When I was younger, my sister and I would sprawl out (literally) under the tree and play board games by the light of the tree. Even now, I love to put on soft Christmas music in the background and just sit and look at the tree and meander down memory lane when I get the chance...
Anyways, here is a little quiz I've seen on some blogs/e-mails, and here are my answers.

I don't remember one specific thing, but I was a bit naughty and used to slyly unwrap my presents, take a peek, then re-wrap. On more than one occasion I had to feign excitement as I opened something I didn't really want. Bad girl.

Your most memorable (and worst, all in one) gift has to (HAS TO) be the Guess sweatshirt. Hands down my most memorable gift of yours.
We will miss you in Minnesota this year!
Lara, I totally thought about that! But if you remember, I was a pretty good sport about it ;)I would say that might be my craziest gift...
