Christmas {2011}

Christmas was amazing this year!  I could go on and on about how fun it was to watch Emery, but instead I’ll just list out what we did :)

Christmas Eve:

- Afternoon we went to my Mom and Dad’s to do Christmas with my Mom’s side of the family

- We went to Christmas Eve service at our church with Brad’s family and my brother and his girlfriend.  Emery may or may not have yelled “HO HO HO” when Pastor came out dressed up as an old biblical character (in her defense he did have long white hair and a long white beard).  I LOVE our Christmas Eve service, and I love getting to see all of our church friends at Christmas time :)

- After church Brad’s family came back here and we exchanged gifts with them.

- MY FAVORITE TRADITION: Once its just our family left we get out the family Bible that I bought Brad as our wedding gift, and we read the Christmas story by candle light.

Christmas Morning:

- Emery woke up about 7:30, and we let her walk into the living room to see what Santa brought her…she was SO EXCITED!  I will NEVER forget her face. (Emery has on the pajamas that my grandmother, Grandbess, made for me to wear the Christmas that I was one…I had a baby that had matching PJ’s)

- We headed over to my Mom and Dad’s house to do Christmas with them, and eat my favorite meal of Christmas day…breakfast :)

- Came back home to get ready and head over to Brad’s parents house to celebrate Christmas with them and his aunt and uncle and cousins.

- Drove down to the lake to celebrate Christmas with my Dad’s side of the family.

- Came home and we were ALL exhausted!
