So when Mr. Hunt's first gift came, I ran upstairs and hid it in the office. A few days later, I couldn't hold it in any longer and asked him if he wanted to open it. Now, if it were just me that were bad about keeping them wrapped until Christmas then we would be fine. Mr. Hunt ideally would say, "No, I want to wait unit Christmas day." But no, he is just as bad and says "OK!" So I run upstairs, wrap it, and bring it down just for him to rip it open 2 minutes after I wrapped it. To make it worse, the wrapping paper wasnt even Christmasy
Its a cigar humidor!
Not really sure why, but Mr. Hunt smelled the packages inside the humidor. Maybe he thought it was going to smell like cigars?
He was so happy, he couldn't wait to get it set up.
First he had to wipe down the insides with the formula that it came with.
Then he had to put some of the formula in a small bowl and let it sit in there for three days.
He loved it!
Then the next day was my turn. The doorbell rang while we were watching TV one evening and he ran to the door. He brought it inside and opened it right away and there was an already wrapped gift inside and he handed it to me. I was so excited! You see? He couldn't wait either. I don't even think he asked me if I wanted to wait, he just handed it to me. I'm going to apologize now for the way I look in these next few pictures. This is a real time blog, with real time photos, no time to get all pretty for each picture. Remember, this was a weekend evening while watching TV, not about to go out all dressed up with makeup.
Loved what the card said, but Ill leave that a little secret.
So Happy! (so was Hannah). Us girls love a little design book! Mr. Hunt got me The Home Book by House Beautiful. It is more than 500 pages of house inspiration and I can't wait to go through it. Now I'm really going to be doing some crazy stuff to this house!
A few days after that, Mr. Hunt and I got home from his works Christmas party. I was feeling a little Grinch like since there were no lights up, but then I saw two packages waiting at the door. I knew one was for Mr. Hunt from me and I assumed the other was for me so I got excited! We didn't even let the dogs out before taking turns opening the packages from each other. This time, they weren't even wrapped! I know, its getting worse.
It had been raining that whole day. Look at that package! Yikes! Maybe I should have wrapped it! Again, sorry for the shadows in the pictures, it was night time.
Look at his happy smile! I got him an alarm clock that projects the time on the ceiling. He has wanted one for awhile, but he had no idea that I remembered that and got him one. If you don't have one, you should get one. They are great!
And here is my awesome gift! Look at that wrapping!
Yeah, I didn't even take my boots or jacket off before opening my gift.
I love this "taking pictures of us opening our gifts" We keep getting the REAL reactions perfectly on camera. haha! Look at my face!
I got the navy north face jacket that I have been wanting! So excited!
That's all the gifts we got each other. Maybe once we have kids and they are old enough to understand what Christmas is, we may wait to open the gifts all together. But for now, this works for us. Its the thought that counts. Plus, Christmas is Jesus' and River's birthday anyway!
So that's all that we got each other this year. Nothing too much because we have big plans for our moola this year. As far as what else we got from friends and family, lets just say this. Mr. Hunt got alot of gamecock apparel (which he loves), and I got alot of home decor stuff (which I love), so everything was great! In the next few weeks you will probably see some new gifts around the house.
Until then,
Jennifer Hunt
