Christmas Part 2

The Sunday after Christmas we headed to parents house to do our Christmas with them. They spoiled us as well and we had a wonderful day. It was sad that we only got to spend a day but with it being Sunday and Todd and I having to work on Monday that’s all we had. My mom cooked a delicious meal and we all sat around and opened gifts. As you know my Nana passed away this year and I had a special gift from her under the tree. My mom gave my brother and I a picture of my Nana with her dog and then I got the DVD The Proposal and my brother got my Nana’s auburn socks. Our family is a huge Auburn fan since my uncle played college football there. I got The Proposal because one of the last times I spent with my Nana where she was lucid and knew what was going on I took her to the movies to see it. It was and will always remain a special day to me. We had so much fun and she kept thanking me for what a great day it was. It was her favorite day.

I love how I caught all my moms expressions. :)

My parents have the worst towels and I have been joking with my mom how I was going to get her towels for Christmas and I FINALLY did. These will actually fit around your body. haha Kate opening her Stella and Dot jewelry. Everyone needs a little S&D in their life. :)

I was so excited to get a Keurig. I have been wanting one forever and I LOVE IT!!

My brother got my Dads ordination letter framed :)

I am so sad that Christmas is over. Both of our families spoiled us entirely too much!! We are truly BLESSED!! We still have our Christmas decorations up in our house. We won’t take them down until probably the middle of this month. LOL. We like to enjoy them a little longer. We did take down our outside decorations though. Next post up is New Years Eve and maybe a few resolutions. I’m catching up :)

Christmas Part 1

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with both of our families. I think it was probably my favorite Christmas. God has blessed us so much this year and it was nice to reflect on that at Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day here at home with Todd's family. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve service at our church and Todd's parents joined us there. It was nice to have them with us that night.    Its tradition in Todd’s family to eat pizza on Christmas Eve, so we continue to do so. We ordered Dominos and after church headed to his parents house for pizza. Todd’s sister and her family weren’t coming into town until Christmas Day so we didn’t open presents on Christmas Eve like we normally do. Todd and I did get to open one present and it is one of our favorite presents. His parents got a HUGE wine aerator. Its really neat, definitely a conversation piece. It makes a huge difference in the wine and we love it. 

On Christmas morning Todd had to wake me up. I was sleeping good but I guess he was ready to open presents and see if Santa brought him anything good this year. :) If we are at home on Christmas we always have our own little Christmas together on Christmas morning. Just the two of us. I love that time of just the two of us opening gifts together in our home. Its a special time for both of us. I must have been a really good girl this year because my hubby bought me a new camera. I had been begging for one for quite some time but never in a million years think I would actually get one. I was super excited and surprised!! Its a Canon Rebel X5. Now to learn how to use it. :)

We then headed over to his parents house for lunch and presents and to see what Santa brought Anna. It was so much fun with her this year because she now understands what is going on. She wanted to open every gift. Al the presents were hers according to her. haha. :)

I think the trampoline was her favorite. She LOVES to jump!!

That night we headed over to Todd's extended family and had dinner and a little gift exchange. Overall Christmas was wonderful for us and we could not be more blessed.
