b and g christmas

grays and i had our own little christmas last night! we wanted to give each other our gifts before we head to california for christmas with the pollock's. grays knocked it out of the ballpark for gifting this year!! i can't believe how lucky i am to have such a thoughtful and caring husband. 

gift #1 my grandpa's piano

this might be along the lines of what i'm thinking for the finish... 

my grandpa passed away last september in a biking accident, and his piano has been sitting in the basement of my grandma's house ever since. it hasn't been played in quite some time, but it's the piano my dad learned to play on and i remember playing on it as a kid. it is being tuned, re-finished (however i want it), and stocked with books. wow grays, what an unbelievable sentimental present! i also have been taking lessons since i was 3 (seriously, my older brother started at age 5 in kindergarten and i just HAD to keep up with him so my mom let me take lessons at the same time) and i took all the way up to high school. piano is my safe place and i have missed playing more than i can even say. 

gift #2 carrie underwood tickets in L.A.

i have never been to a real concert. i know, i can't believe it either. we are going to the carrie underwood concert, 20th row, in L.A. in march with ashley and jake. these guys sure know how to make their girls VERY happy! it will be such a blast!! 

grayson's gift

for the past year or so, grays has been talking about raynor surf boards. he has been drilling the specs for his perfect board in my head (i don't know if that was sub-consciously or not) i ordered his custom board the first week of december and it will be in california on wednesday of this week! i can't wait to see him in the water with it!

this christmas has been amazing so far and we still have my parents and sibling's christmas tomorrow, poppy christmas on saturday (at grayson's grandpa's house), and pollock family christmas on the 25th! i can't wait!
