We got to spend Christmas Eve with our second family, The Redden's. We hadn't seen them in a long time so it was really good to go up to Wyoming and just catch up with everyone. Christmas morning we went out to my parent's in Wellsville. We had a really good time opening presents and having a yummy Christmas breakfast : ) Mom and Dad spoiled us and baby! They got us a very nice stroller/car seat combo! And some really cute pajamas for baby : ) It got us really excited, and got me wanting our baby to just get here already!!! We had a really fun Christmas dinner with my whole extended family. Everyone had to bring a food item from a different country. There was a lot of good food and lots of fun. In my family, between all the little nieces and nephews that I have, there are 9 kids under the age of 8! I LOVE being around all of them, and this too go me REALLY EXCITED for our little babe :) ! Monday, the day after Christmas we went to breakfast with all of my buddies from high school. It was really good to see everybody with all of their little babies, and again I left just really wanting our little one to get here faster!!! Then we went to a movie with the fam, it was a lot of fun! John decided to go duck hunting after the movie so I was just lazy at home for the rest of the night, it was really nice.
I most of all just loved being with John and being with Family and Friends for Christmas. It always helps me realize how blessed we are when the holidays come around. I am so grateful that we always have somewhere to go to celebrate and know that we will always be with people who love and care about us! I'm also so grateful for the opportunity to celebrate an occasion that changed the world forever, the birth of our Savior! I know that we should celebrate this occasion everyday, but it just seems a little bit easier at this time of year. We are so blessed for all of the many things that we have been given and for all of the tender mercies that we experience everyday and we know that it is only through our Heavenly Father and our Brother Jesus Christ that we receive any of these blessings.
I am so excited for the New Year and for all of the many adventures that lie ahead of us. It is really crazy to think of all of the changes that are happening to us, but more exciting than anything!!! Wahoo for new beginnings and new adventures : )
The AWESOME new stroller for baby : )
The joys of not knowing what we're getting, we get two different sets of jammies : )
