I have more gifts coming in the mail from him this week!!!
It's been a long LONG time since I've been spoiled that I'm more than likely going to have tears running down my face Christmas morning.

Those are all my gifts from my boyfriend, Kevin. If you are able to see any in the background, those are the few gifts I gave to him.
I sure was spoiled!!!
Nope, I didn't cry even though I had thought about it.

Those are the gifts I got on Christmas Eve from my extended family (close friends/neighbors). Well, except for a couple seeing how those were already put away.

I know it's a juicer and I tried to looking it up but couldn't find anything on it especially smoothie recipes. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give.

I tried the juicer and it didn't work so no need for recipes for a juicer.
I do make my own smoothies though using a blender.

That has 8 baby carrots (cut length wise in 1/2 then cut into half circles), 1/4 cucumber (cut into slices then slices cut into fourths),1 banana, 1 Orange, 1 green apple, 8 oz Orange juice, 4 oz 2% milk and 8-10 ice cubes plus 1 1/2 tsp honey and 1 tsp cinnamon. Blend until smooth and enjoy

I see he got you a wooden rolling pin. Does he really understand how this gift would be used against him?

What part of VA are you located? What county? I've only seen the eastern portion of the state and find it to be very lovely.

Hello Everyone!
My boyfriend finally broke down and got me a fake tree last Friday night.
I decorated it all day Sat and part of the day on Sunday. It was very difficult for me to get the top done - I'm only 5ft and the tree is 7.5 ft. Yup, even climbing on a chair wasn't all that helpful.
He brought it Lowe's and the money he spent on it could have gotten 2-3 real trees!!!
