My brain is fried. I know they tell you that will happen when you're pregnant but I forget some of the stupidest things. But as I always do, I am not too good at getting out my camera. But at least I have some pictures to document the festivities.
Christmas Eve, I can't figure out if I'm suppose to want to do any celebrating of anything that day or what. How the day was spent was Daren stuck with his nephew(who was very nervous about not being in bed before Santa came) up at Porcupine Dam. I borrowed my parents new vacuum to see if it's the one I wanted, so I spent over an hour vacuuming my house. Seriously....we know how to party.
On Christmas day, I woke up before Daren did and just did some cleaning and work around the house. Once Daren woke up we opened each other gifts. He says I'm hard to buy gifts for, but he always blows me away with how fantastic of a job he does! He got me some sewing stuff as I plan to make baby Gus's baby bedding. Baby Gus is also the proud owner of some Aggie apparel, some bought by me, some bought by Daren. After that, we headed up to my parents house for the Christmas celebration!
Boston Family Christmas just wasn't the same this year. We celebrated the 26th-28th but Brian and his family chose to not come out this year, as they'll be moving back soon enough. We did the gift exchange on the 26th. Michael and AJ had us....OH NO!....but they did so well! I actually really liked my gift. Including a baby's owner manual, which I think is great. We thankfully did get to Skype the Philly Bostons and I always forget how much I miss them.
On the 27th, I(Daren had to work these days...bummer) went out to Kelsi's new house and had breakfast....and then lunch.....and then we went bowling. Me and Audrey were a team....
....... She was thrilled can't ya tell?
Later that night instead of doing our usual gingerbread house decorating...we decided to decorate "gingerbread men" but really we wanted sugar cookies. But everyone had to decorate the cookie as someone else. It was hilarious. I wish I had gotten all of the cookies because they were good. The picture below, from left to right, it was me- made by Joe (and my pregnant belly) Andria-made my Kelsi(and her old permed hair) my mom- made my Kennady and then mine is the one on the bottom...which was of Kelsi.
The "winner" was Audrey...made by my mom.
Overall, it was a really good time. I'm sad we didn't get a chance to get down to Daren's parent's. The Gordon's picked one of the days that my family had already scheduled everything. I'm so grateful for everyone and everything they did for Daren and I during the holidays.....
Oh and PS...yes, I loved my parents vacuum I bought my own. Yipee!!!!
