Christmas recap


I still can't believe Christmas week flew by so fast. Nate and I managed to see all of our families at about a million dinners/visits/gift exchanges. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to (although this post has quite a few).... Started off with my family's Christmas since Erin was in town for a few days. Here everyone is opening gifts at my parents' house.
I think my mom and I are trying to turn Laura into Betty Crocker with her apron and mixing bowl gifts.
Tuesday it was on to OH to Nate's parents' house....They had a full house with us, Kelsey and Joe and Nate's grandma too. As you can see, there were lots of presents as Nate's mom spoils us completely!
Nate's stocking looks a little like a headless baby when it is full...which is just a little creepy! I think Sadie thought it was an actual person in there!
Nate's parents just got a Pomeranian and I never thought I'd see the day when Nate willingly held a dog in a sweater.

We all had to try out the Nintendo Wii that Joe and Kelsey brought over. Dee Dee (Nate's mom) was the funniest because she would let off this little scream whenever her "mario cart" went off the track...It was funny to watch everyone play...And even though I am not usually a fan of video games, these were pretty fun because you actually have to move around a little!
Back in Louisville....we had a baby shower for my friend Rachel who is expecting a boy in February! Plus, Amanda was in town and even though we only had a brief few hours to catch up I am so glad I got to see her. We started out having dinner at Uptown Cafe (an EXCELLENT Louisville restaurant) and then headed over to my house for Rachel to open gifts.
All of the girls...Amanda, Annie, Jill, Jess, me and Rachel
Annie wanted a picture with Hayden as best she could manage....Rachel is a good sport!

Christmas time is here..

Finally got our tree up...a NC tree from Molly's family's Christmas tree farm. He's a little small; apparently I thought five feet was normal when I told her how tall to make it. Oops...
Christmas party #1. Steve thought it was an ugly sweater party....
And dressed his dog accordingly...
The girls minus Julie (and minus ugly sweaters)
Moving onto our house...
Julie, Brooke, Molly, Steph, me and Sarah
Christmas get-to-gether #2: Pazzo's and the Clems' house

A little tired and Gina's excellent pizzells (sp?). Fun times!
