The story? Well, we had been looking for a new car for a few months, and Ryan wanted a truck. Of course I didn't... Ryan did a lot of car shopping with me while I drove, and drove, and drove many different types of cars, with still no decision made. Once I suggested he go look at trucks, his eyes lit up and he did his shopping. He came home one days with deals from the Ford dealership and the Toyota dealership. All we had to do was go sign the papers. (And let me tell you, they were AMAZING deals!). I still didn't like the idea of a truck... SO, I decided I would surprise him with the truck he had already picked out for Christmas! It was a really fun surprise! I didn't tell ANYONE! The dealership was kind enough to keep the car for a few weeks so I could bring it home for Christmas. I asked a friend of ours to help me pick it up and then he drove it to his house. While we were out on Christmas Eve our friend parked the truck in the back yard. (We have RV access... in case we ever get an RV...).
Anyway, we opened all our gifts on Christmas morning and then I told Ryan there was something else in his little ornament stocking. It was the car key. He was pretty excited. We drove around the neighborhood in our PJ's. It sure was fun!
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, Ryan did get me some awesome gifts for Christmas including crown molding!
We did some other fun Christmas things in December, like visit family, attend Christmas concerts, celebrate Christmas with friends, see Santa, and of course celebrate the birth of our Savior. BUT, I think the thing that we'll remember about Christmas 2009 is the new truck. It was fun for me to get and I know Ryan loves it.
