Christmas Part 2

So, I am a day late, but that's ok. Rather than blog last night, my hubby and I cleaned up the house a little and then snuggled up on the couch to watch "The Other Guys." I am a HUGE Will Ferrell fan, but this movie wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. It was funny in some parts, just not hilarious. And a lot of it was gross humor.

Moving on...

On Christmas Eve, my mom and dad came back with us to spend Christmas night and to check out our new house. My mom and I had a few last minute errands to run, so while Jimmy went to work, we ran around like chickens with our heads cut off while my dad stayed here with Harper. He had already been in the car all day and was beginning to get some diaper rash, so we decided it was best he stay here.

I had visions of grabbing some delicious food or cooking something for my parents on Christmas Eve, but we were all so full from snacking on Christmas ham, potato salad and collards that we didn't even eat dinner! (Well, I did end up eating some cheese Ramen.)

We assembled a few of the gifts that Santa left for Harper. My parents had given Jimmy and I the coffee table that we wanted, so he was a sweetheart and assembled that before he went to work. I decided I would snap a few photos of our beautiful tree with everything waiting for Harper the next morning.



On Christmas morning, my mom went in and got Harper when he woke up and changed his diaper. I ran and got my camera to capture some photos of the goods!





When we opened his door, I had the video camera rolling and he walked RIGHT past everything on the couch! We all died laughing. We all kept saying," Look Harper! Look on the couch!" He went and got on the loveseat like he does every morning while he watches cartoons and has his milk. Finally, he spotted everything. He picked up a robot and couldn't get the package open, so he handed it to my dad. I would post the video, but it would take forever.

Here are a few highlights from Christmas morning...



(My mom REALLY likes buying me pink things!)










Jimmy's mom and step-dad came over for brunch and brought some delicious food! I was so busy stuffing my face and visiting I forgot to take pictures! They gave all of us some very nice gifts and we appreciated them coming to see us this year.

My mom and dad had to head back home unexpectedly because of the snow. They are lucky they did, because when they got home, their power was off and they later got 12 INCHES of snow!! I hate I missed it :(

I grabbed a quick nap on the couch while Jimmy played his new PS3 with his brother. Later on that afternoon, Jimmy's dad, stepmom, grandma and step-sister came over to eat and exchange gifts. We all had a great time and then once they left, Jimmy and I crashed!

I don't know about Jimmy, but I am still working on trying to get my energy back. I have been so tired these last few days. It is all I can do to get a load of laundry done or load the dishwasher! Every single day since we've moved in, we've had something major to do or errands to run and it has completely worn me out! Things have been so crazy these last 3 weeks from exams, moving, decorating the house in a hurry, shopping, traveling, Christmas, cooking, laughing and just generally having a good time. I only have one word to describe how I felt this Christmas and it is simply "blessed." I am blessed to have healthy family and friends, a warm (and spacious) new home, a loving husband, a sweet baby boy and all of my needs met and then some. 2010 has been a wonderful year and I have SO much to look forward to in the many years to come!
