Christmas 2009

Today was a wonderful day filled with most of my favorite people! We changed it up this year. We normally spend Christmas day with our close family friends who we grew up taking vacations with. Due to some flight conflicts, we are having our "family" Christmas on Sunday with them. So today, my dad and brother came over and we had a grand time. Mommy wasn't feeling well so she stayed home and we missed her tons, but we all know that it was worth it so that she will be able to enjoy many more with us. We love you mommy!

Edward came in the morning shortly after we started opening presents and had coffee and cinammon rolls with us. A few hours later my dad came and we had a mexican feast! Tamales, beans, rice, queso, guacamole, salsa verde, you name it, we had it! We had a great day today and just enjoyed being together and having a very laid back day at home.

Later in the afternoon, we ran over to my cousin's house and saw some more family for about an hour. Once we got home, I made us some dinner, and everyone was pretty much ready for bed!

Devin was so much fun to watch opening presents this year. Last year she was just two weeks old and slept for most of the day. This year she was in on all the action! Even though I only bought her about 4 things, she had so many new toys and had such a blast playing with all of it. She squealed and talked, very loud, for most of the afternoon!

On to the pics!

We didn't put the full size tree up this year because we figured we would spend so much time trying to keep her away from it that we might end up taking it down. I was feeling a little depressed that we didn't have any decorations up and about 2 weeks ago, I came home from work and Chris had put the small one up for us. Isn't he the sweetest? It was a nice suprise and I am so glad we had a tree to enjoy this year even if it wasn't the big one! She didn't bat an eye at it the whole time it has been up until this morning of course!

Oh, and earlier this week, Devin and I went to a Santa party...Devin wasn't so sure about Santa but tolerated him long enough to get a pic! I was alone with her and didn't have my camera so the quality isn't that great since it is from my phone but it is better than nothing!
