the tyler and ashleigh blog: christmas of 2012

2012 treated us well. It was our first "full" year of being married. And we're looking forward to many more to come.

Ty and I weren't exactly planning on a big Christmas. Money was kind of tight and we had other things that were our priority. But amazing things happen when you pay your tithing. Lemme tell ya.

I kind of started a "tradition" last year. I did a 12 days for Tyler. I don't know if I'll continue on in the years to come but it is so fun to do! Every day Ty was so stoked for his gift. It made it so fun!

Day 1: ONE box of ammo

(and lucky too, Walmart has COMPLETELY sold out of shotgun ammo)

Day 2: TWO tickets to the Hobbit

Day 3: THREE body care items

Day 4: FOUR legs (two pairs of pants)

Day 5: FIVE cups of Puppy Chow

Day 6: SIX (half dozen) cookies

Day 7: SEVEN candy bars

Day 8: EIGHT kisses

(he could "redeem" the chocolate ones for real ones)

Day 9: NINE love notes

Day 10: TEN dates (for $20)

Day 11: ELEVEN songs

Day 12: TWELVE month X-Box live membership

Tyler got me a heated mattress pad (a necessity in SL), a coca-motion (no one knows HOW excited I am for this), Pitch Perfect (LOVE it), and a blankie to snuggle on the couch with!

Our parents spoiled us as well! My parents got me a deep-fryer, Tyler X-Box points, and money to go to St. George! My little sister got us the Logo game. Tyler's parents got me a down coat (finally am cute but warm!), Tyler a jacket as well, and a game! Tyler's brother got us super nice towels! (we only own two. haha) We also got Lord of the Rings and some chick flicks, The Logo game, ammo, my aunt crocheted me some super warm and cute hats. We had a great Christmas! Tyler's parents came up so we spent most of it with them. We went to temple square as well.
