Holly Jolly Christmas!

We were so spoiled this Christmas to be able to spend a week with both of our families over the Christmas break. It was so fun to go to Idaho and see so many old friends. We got spend a few days at our friends' cabin where we went tubing and snowmobiling. It was a total blast. My camera decided to delete those fun pictures, but I'll post some that my family took later.


You know the five love languages? Landon's is gift-giving, hands-down, which makes Christmas REALLY FUN. He pretty much gave me an entire new wardrobe (which was much appreciated), more Gilmore Girls seasons (True love right there), and...HE BUILT THIS GORGEOUS THING.
Throughout December, Landon kept saying he was, "Christmasing," and I had no idea what he was doing. The week before Christmas, he was "Christmasing" everyday for most of the day! On Christmas morning, after we had opened all the presents, he made me close my eyes as he and his dad brought down what he MADE. It's STUNNING. It took my breath away. He did an incredible job. It has a place for all my jewelry and necklaces and whatever else I want to fill it up with! Not to mention massive! It hits me at the chest. I'm guessing it's about 4 ft. 10 inches. The man has skills!

That's amazing and very beautiful! I've always wished I could be build things like that (ok, I've never tried, but I get intimidated around tools). Have fun finding stuff to fill it with!
