The Gift

January 24th, 2011 @ 6:00 pm by Miss Oatmeal

Today I have a treat for you. Well, really, it’s a treat for me and Mr. Oatmeal. OK, it’s just a treat for me.

On Christmas morning we were given a spectacular gift from my brother. I’d say that it was the best gift given in the Oatmeal household this Christmas, but I’d be lying. Mr. Oats and I gifted my brother a Shake Weight. Enough said, right?

Anyway, it was our wedding guestbook! Here I am opening said gift, and my brother is beaming with pride over his gift-giving abilities. (And yes, that is our little Murphy, in a hoodie.)

And here is a preview of it for y’all to see!

This is actually the back of the guestbook. That picture is, well, so us. I’m pretty sure I was looking up at Mr. Oatmeal, saying “kiiiiiiiss meeeeee,” and he was, in return, looking down at me like I’m crazy. I love it. I don’t have the time right now to take better pictures of the entire book for you to see, but I promise I’ll be getting around to it very soon.

But I can tell you this: WE LOVE OUR ENGAGEMENT PICTURES SOOOOOO MUCH! Thank you RC for a job well done. We love you.

Did you get any wedding-related gifts over the holidays?
