Daddy and I don't ever exchange gifts on Christmas. We just focus on the kids and are happy to do it. Well, this year Santa (aka Daddy) bought me a great gift. I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid Mixer FOREVER! I am not sure why I want one so bad, as I am not the best cook and I don't know what all I will use it for other than to bake my famous chocolate chip cookies. I think I have watched a few too many episodes of the Food Network and they always use them on there. I figured I needed one too. Well, if you know me at all then you know that I am way to cheap to actually buy one. Those things are expensive and I figured that I would just wish for one and continue making my cookies the old fashioned way with my bowl, spoon and elbow grease.
I guess Santa thought I deserved this extra special present this year and went out of his way to make sure I had one. He went to two stores two different times to get a red one. Each time they didn't have a red one in stock. Then he had another gift idea and headed to Bed Bath and Beyond. As he was browsing the aisles looking for his gift he walked right by a stack of KitchenAid Mixers and what would be sitting there . . . a red one. It must have been fate. So he grabbed it up and got the other gift, which I might add was a thoughtful tray for me to use in the bath tub to hold my book and wine. He had been paying attention when I complained last week saying my book was too heavy to hold as I relaxed in the tub. Anyways, he got to talking with the nice lady at Bed, Bath and Beyond and in his sweet talking way got them to give him a discount off of the mixer. I guess the lady was impressed with him because he was in uniform and she had a daughter that is also serving this country and would give him a special. So he saved like $60.00 off the mixer. Now that is a bargain I can get behind!
Santa then wrapped up his gift but he did it in a special way. He took the mixer out of the box and taped another box to it and wrapped them up. It looked like one huge gift. When I saw it this morning I had no idea what it was. I had to move it out of the way to get to the kids gifts and he told me to be careful because it was fragile. I picked it up and it was so light and I had no idea what it could be. After the kids were done with their gifts, I got to open up mine. I opened and saw the box and I didn't believe that he had got it for me. I was confused and thought there was something else in the box. He then got the mixer out from behind the couch and I about died with happiness. I couldn't believe that he had done that for me.
So here it is, in all its glory . . . I already made some cookies with it today and I have to say it is AWESOME!
