Curtis had to work on Christmas so I spent the day getting ready for our Christmas festivities that night. Since our fridge had just been delivered the evening before, I had not yet gone grocery shopping. So, I crossed my fingers as I drove to the grocery store, hoping that they would be open on Christmas day. Fortunately they were, but unfortunately there were sliiiiiiiim pickin's in the meat department. I spent the rest of the day trying to unpack the kitchen so that I would be able to cook Christmas dinner! I remember getting very frustrated at one point and thinking "This isn't fair, who works this hard on Christmas!?!" Then I thought back to my mom spending all Christmas cleaning up after us and slaving away in the kitchen. It was then that I decided that we need to spend as many holidays as we can at my parents house! (Hehe...)
When Curtis came home we opened presents. Nathan loved playing with the wrapped gifts and screamed when I tried to open them.
Here he is sporting his new hat that he got from his cousin Ethan!
And here he is reveling in all of his recently opened gifts. It was a good day!
For those of you who have been asking, we are still working on unpacking our house, but we are much closer now thanks to my parents and Alli who spent 4 days helping us settle in. Once we are more settled I will post pictures so just be patient!!! (**cough **Crissy) :) I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did!
Sounds like a good Christmas! And I love the pics of Nathan, he is so sweet and smiley. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you that you're in your new place! Unpacking is definitely a pain, but it feels so good once you're settled (or even semi-settled....there are still things I feel like I need to organize better, etc.) Glad you guys had a good Christmas. And nice job working so hard to fix Christmas dinner...I probably would have gotten take-out :)
ReplyDeleteSooooo cute. But patience is a virtue I was never blessed with... so hurry up already! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a Christmas!! I wish Santa would have brought me a new house for Christmas. And a PIANO?! I'm jealous. Glad you had a Merry Christmas and I can't wait to see pics of the house.
ReplyDeleteWe sure did have a good Christmas. Did your presents that I gave to you come? I want to know? Uncle Cuuuuurtis, Uncle Cuuuuurtis is a police man, and I Knoooooow that. (This is to the tune of Happy Birthday) I kind of love Uncle Curtis. Thanks for you guys! Love you guys, Every one. Baby Nathan looks GREAT in that hat! I thought it would look cute on him, which is why I picked it.

Ethan, you did a great job picking that hat out for baby Nathan. It looked soooo cute on him!
ReplyDeleteMerrills, I'm glad you got to celebrate Christmas together in your new home. Hooray! And that picture of Nathan and all of his presents--so cute!
