present time!

On Saturday:
I have been wrestling with my digital camera on and off for sometime now. It's a 1.3 megapixel camera with very little zoom. I bought it for a deal a couple years ago and it has served me well for what I paid for it. Right now I can take pics but can't load them into the computer, which is rather pointless and only happened about 2 days ago.
Hubby asked me to go shopping with him for my present. I was supposed to be baking all day for presents for a get-together today and for the neighbors and said as such. He asked again. I had a feeling it was for a camera since he had said I might want to go with him because I might want something specific. The only specific things that he won't or can't get for me are computer related. So I knew it was something "fun".
The kids told me on a 1, 2, 3 count what it was.....
Hmm, stay home and bake or go get a new camera? I grabbed my coat!
We struck off with sale flyers in hand.
Not long after that I have a Sony on its way to me (we didn't buy it there nor at that price). They were sold out in store and it's being sent to my home. It came with a 1GB card for free. Bonus!
So now I am expecting a new camera at my door either tomorrow or the day after Christmas.
I was planning on saving for a new camera this year anyways. I had planned on using any gift cards and such to get it between my birthday and Christmas. I love the ones I have seen that take video, and zoom so nicely. Plus now I will be able to get nice shots of the falling snow, and have the snow show!
Thank you DH.
:)
Oh and I made a double batch of ginger molasses cookies later on that evening. Yum!



**************
Today we went to my sister's house for a Christmas celebration. It was a nice get-together with my Dad, Stepmom, Sister, her four kids and Fiance, my DH, DS, DD and I.
We nibbled on turkey wraps and BLT's, veggies with dip, fruit with yogurt dip and cookies. Yummy! The kids were happy, noisy and fun. The adults were about the same I guess!
It was nice day.

Tomorrow, Christmas Eve, will be quiet in preparation of the next day.
On Christmas Day my MIL, FIL and BIL come up and we eat and exchange gifts. The gifts normally take quite a while. We don't have turkey or ham as most do, we usually have cold cut sandwiches with veggies, olives and pickles. That way anyone who is hungry can eat when they feel like it.
I will see my Mom and Stepdad once they return from a trip out-of-state to visit with my Aunt T.


Merry Christmas everyone!
