Merry Christmas!

Written by Chelle on Monday

Pic of the Day ~ Becca and Her Presents (more on Flickr) ~

Becca and her PresentsT’was the night before Christmas and Mommy just arrived home. She rushed off to Kmart in a frenzy to replace the stroller that came with only one wheel. After waiting in line, then running to the toy department, grabbing a replacement then running back to wait in line again, Mommy was happy to be home and count four wheels.

As family tradition dictates we all open just one gift Christmas eve. Since J’s family would all be out at his Grandmother’s farm, we thought it fitting to open the gift from Great Grandma Loose, only to discover a few missing parts. I ran to Kmart to fix the problem then came home to a beautiful turkey dinner. J did such a wonderful job (I helped but really he is the man!)

After dinner J and I exchanged a gift each too! I gave him this cute geek toy called The Cubes. I received an ISIGHT! hehe! So be watching out for dorky self portraits of Becca, J & I! hehe Special thanks to Betty for topping off the ISight *wink* I guess Apple is no longer selling them so I have another soon to be vintage Apple item (my Ipod is a mini, something they no longer sell either).

Becca adores her new pram from Great Grandma L! And was totally jumping out of her skin, excited for Christmas morning! J & I set up the doll house my Dad purchased for her and set out her Piglet from Santa with a note stating he placed her strawberries in the fridge. It was so cool to set things up for her while she slept! Many years of Christmas Eve building for us in the future!

Becca went to bed very very excited! She was up many times throughout the night, hoping beyond hope that it was morning. We even had her stay with us in our bed, however that did not help her settle! Finally at 5 am we got her back to sleep and ended up waking her at 7am!

Christmas morning was so much fun. Becca was totally surprised and at time overwhelmed with the gifts she received. Grandma & Grandpa M sent so many wonderful treats. Auntie Kristie spoiled us all rotten! Grandpa R’s doll house is a huge hit! Becca loves opening it up and rearranging the furniture!

Santa’a gifts were a big hit too. He left her strawberries and a Piglet that she adores. Even nameless baby boy received a cute little zebra! J & I both got spoiled! J received T’s, books, and more geeky pleasures! I received knitting gear, books, a housecoat, slipper and an IDOG! It’s a red one! He is so cute! I adore being spoiled! hehehe! My Dad was generous and sent us cash that we used towards a new digital camera. Ours was randomly shutting off and acting all crazy, so it was time. I love the new camera, it is another Sony that totally is way faster than our old one!
Our plan for the day is to enjoy our new gear, relax and stuff ourselves with leftovers and food that is normally banished from around here.

We Wish You A Very Merry Christmas! Here we are, Christmas Morning!

    aw, and next year one more will be in the pic. So cute.

    In my family we used to open all our presents on Christmas Eve. Someone yesterday was telling me that that is a Catholic tradition but I don’t know if that is true.
