chirstmasssss

Christmas is always a special one here at the hansgen residence! we always are happy, baking random things, finding the perfect gift, wrapping it, opening them and spending time with the people we love the most. this year i did the 12 days of christmas for cade, and he loved it! i was having such a hard time figuring out something to get him. he put in his mission papers a few weeks prior and at the time we had no clue where he was going or when he was going to be leaving. so i didnt want to get him anything that would just seem to go to waste, so i did the 12 days for him and it turned out great! here is the list of things i got him....
1-blanket. this was mainly for me because i hate all the blankets he has at his house
2-posters. the kid loves posters as well as decor for his walls at home. i got him a led zepplin one and a sweeeeet bob marley one.
3- i got three of my favorite memories of us, got a picture from each one, and wrote why i loved each one so much.
4- shirts-cause i love buying him cute clothes
5-arizona teas, cause hes in love
6-a mini six pack of soda for lunches at work and such
7-ties- for the mission. he always makes comments about how all his ties are the same so i got him some different ones!
8-pairs of church socks- one in every color possible
9-we were supposed to go on a date at 9:00, but then i got too excited so we did it at like 5...for our date we made a sweet gingerbread house!!!
10-we both have an obseshhh with incense  so i bought him 10 things of them and a sweet holder.
11-i wrote him a huge long letter about the 11 reasons why i love him
12-he was going to star valley so i made him 12 cookies to take down there... other then it was more like 12x10.... ahhahah thats okay right?

anyways, nothing big but it was so fun sneaking them into his house everyday, so that usually when he came home, there was a surprise waiting for him :) as for me, my christmas was awesome! i got a laptop!!!! i wanted one so bad but i was almost positive i wasnt going to get it! such a good surprise! everyone in my family loved my gifts, what else is new though right?! anyways, it was such a good and happy time for me :) i hope everyone else's was awesome as well!!!! merry merry xoxoxstevie
