Christmas!

We had an awesome Christmas this year. Christmas Eve we spent with my dad. He had a party and announced he is getting married next July! Yea! He also moved into his new house last week and it was fun to spend time with him. Lucy got her first doll - a Cabbage Patch Doll from Grandpa Mac too. Christmas Day we spent with my mom. She stayed over and made us a yummy breakfast and then acted as Santa for Lucy. In fact when I woke up that morning there were a lot more gifts under the tree then when I went to bed. As an adult I sure didn't expect that! Lucy absolutely loved Christmas morning. She was so excited, though I'm sure she didn't really understand what was going on. She was decked out in her new Christmas pjs and robe and just looked as cute as can be (as you can see in her photos :). We got lots on video and loved helping her unwrap her gifts. She would hold onto a piece of the wrapping paper and we would turn the gift so the wrapping would tear off. She got clothes, books, and lots of toys. Being the first grandchild on my side, she sure is getting spoiled. I made my first Christmas dinner ham that night - wow, how easy is ham to make?! - and then made our way over to the in-laws where we exchanged some gifts. Then we went to a movie - Marley and Me. It was cute, not as good as the book, of course, but cute. However, it was super scary getting there and back. The storm had hit just before we left and didn't let up all night. I was really glad we made it everywhere safely. It was a great day of family, fun, and relaxation.
