Christmas Update and so on...

So yesterday was Christmas and we had a WONDEFUL day. Backing up, Christmas Eve started with me getting off of work at 1:00 but then i had to enter the cave of doom...AKA Walmart on Christmas Eve plus it was POURING rain...that SUCKED. But I got home around 2:30 and we went and picked up Joel's mom and then all went to her uncle's house to hang out with family. It's a tradition that we all do and we all had fun. Only problem was that pretty much everyone who smokes in the family, which is about 5 people...smoke inside there so i had to keep away from people a lot. UCK! Joel's mom stayed with us that night because she fell and hurt her leg and it just made more sense for her to stay over since she was coming over th next morning anyways.

So arrive Christmas morning...Joel and i were up at 5am because i couldn't sleep and he was too excited, LOL. Mackenzie will never have to wake US up for Christmas, LOL. So we finished cleaning up and stacked the presents under the tree. Joel's mom woke up around 8:30 and made her breakfast quiche...YUMMO! Aunt Sandy and Susie arrived around 9-9:30 and we all ate breakfast and let the puppies open their gifts. Rupert got a box stuffed with pig ears, because he LOVES to tear into boxes, and he got a super cute sweater...Lilly got a beautiful purple and pink collar and a nylabone that she ate in about 2 mins. Plus they both got a bag of pupperoni treats. After breakfast we sat down to open presents. Joel LOVED his gifts from me and i got the cutest necklace from him with an 'M' on it for our daughter. I absolutely LOVE it. We also got a toaster oven, SWEET!, and i got a sewing machine yay! Joel got an awesome suit from his aunt that fit perfectly so we were BOTH happy about that. He feels nice and i get some eye candy. hehe. We got tons of other stuff too...but yeah. Kenzie got some more books and stuffed animal, including a little bear that says prayers...too cute.

We sat around and watched movies and let lunch cook and then all ate together again. Around 5pm everyone left and Joel and I took a 2 hr. nap. Then i took another hour nap, LOL.

Today i'm going shopping with Joel's mom and aunt to hit up some deals and specials so that should be fun.
As for baby updates...my feet are becoming little sausages because they swell up sooo bad. By about 12:00 my feet are killing me every day so that sucks. Luckily i'm off of work until 1/5 or i'd die. Well i should go get ready. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

It's so cute to watch Al with her gifts. She stuck her whole head in her stocking and pulled out Milk Bones one by one. She also got a Herbie Heron toy that she has almost destroyed already. My dad got her a huge bone. Our old neighbors gave her a stocking filled with pig ears, bones and a toy. My sis in law Hillary's cat got her a gift certificate to PetSmart. We are going to get her a seatbelt from there so she can't roam anymore in the back seat once baby comes.

LOL i need one of those seatbelts for Lilly....for the car and the house. LOL

It's hard to believe that we are both about to have little skin babies that we will love even MORE than our furbabies huh?

I know, it is hard to believe.

P.S. Bad news. Sean just told me that babies are dirtier and messier than dogs. Uh-oh! :O)

Becca said...

LOL yeah i know...babies don't poop outside...they poop on themselves...and then expect you to clean it up!!!!
