Wow what a Christmas. Busy busy busy as always but it seems like it is destined to be a busy holiday for me no matter what. This year was extra special because Hubby and I got to announce to the family...I'm pregnant
Yup that's the start of a baby bump there and we've been keeping this secret from some family and friends (and most of the online world) now for almost 3 months! Let me tell you it's one of the hardest things I've ever done but so worth it when you see everyone's faces after you tell them there's going to be a little on in the family.
So Christmas morning this year was held at our place and what a wonderful idea that was. My parents, Hubby's mom and brother all came over in the morning and I swear I've never seen our tree have so many presents underneath.
I think my favourite part though was all the stockings.
We had mine and Hubby's which we give each other. Then Hubby and his brother had one for their mom. Then both Hubby's mom and my parents had stocking's for me and Hubby. I took us almost as long to open them as it did to open the presents.
Then we had to kick everyone out of the house and head off to my father in law's for more Christmas fun. I loved the way that my sister in law had labeled all the gifts and in fact this was my favourite.
Yup even the baby got a gift. In face the baby got spoiled this year already. New Robeeze from my mother in law, a Molli bib from brother in law, a watch me grow book and Canada t-shirt from sister in law, 2 board books from our friend and a photo watch me grow book from my aunt! My mom was a little miffed because I had told people that I didn't want anything for the baby and she has a bunch of stuff already lined up ready to give me but was good and held back during Christmas only to find out others had a different idea. I told her this wasn't a bad thing though and I can't wait now to see what she has picked out.
In the end though it was a busy couple of days. We ended up having Christmas dinner every night from Dec 23-26 plus a make up Boxing Day dinner scheduled for later today. We're so stuffed full of turkey now I think I'm ready for a break from it. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all!
