Christmas 2011

Christmas went down in the books as a success...I have to say! We had Christmas Eve dinner with my family at Olive Garden. Then we came home and got Lawson ready for bed. We read "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and then Santa made his appearance. Lawson got lots of fun toys and was not sure what to think when he first came out. He was upset because we wouldn't let him in the bedroom so the first picture I got was of him crying for mommy.

Santa came!

This was the face I got!

We opened our gifts and Mitch did really well this year for me!! He got me an hour pregnancy massage and 30 minute facial and a diamond and sapphire bracelet to represent Lawson and Hudson's birthstones. I was really impressed!!! After we opened our Christmas gifts, we loaded up and headed to my in laws for round 2. It was eventful! As my MIL was cooking her casseroles for breakfast her stove caught on fire. The entire house filled with smoke and the smoke detectors started going off. But what is a Christmas without a funny story, right? Lawson racked up there as well! He got tons of car stuff and the high demand Leappad that has been out of stock since before Thanksgiving! My MIL somehow scored one!! He loves it...he calls it his "iPad" and gives us back our iPad. I got a Kindle and some other things for Hudson's room and Mitch got some Alabama stuff along with a gun safe for his pistols!! We ate breakfast and then headed back to our house to put Lawson down for a nap. Then got ready for round 3!

Wearing his new hat and playing with his "iPad"

My family came over for dinner. We feasted on beef tenderloin, mushrooms, salad, potato casserole and green beans. I even made a white chocolate bread pudding, which I have to say was delicious!! After dinner, we opened gifts from my family ( they had already had their Christmas that morning). Lawson got books, new movies, cars, and tons more! I got some clothes (maternity of course), new shoes and a few other surprises. Mitch got some hunting gear, new shoes, clothes and the big surprise was his new shotgun. He got to use it the next day when they went skeet shooting.


I have to say that we are very blessed! The goodies were great but it was even better to be able to spend the day with our loved ones!! Can't believe next year we will have a new little one to celebrate with!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!
