Christmas!

Christmas was a little different for us this year. Both of our immediate families live out of state, and we decided to save money, and stay here. The family we usually spend Christmas with here also decided to go out of state, so we spent Christmas with just the two of us. It was quite fun! Christmas Eve we got Panda Express take out, brought our mattress into our front room, and watched Christmas movies until we fell asleep! We watched Prancer, and Christmas Story! It was very relaxing! It was the least stressful Christmas EVER! That night I was waking up every hour, because I was too excited...plus when you are pregnant....sleeping is difficult! At 6:30 I woke up and helped "Santa" put Aaron's presents under the tree. He cares a little more about the surprise element than I do. Then I woke him up. He opened a few presents, and then we made breakfast! Homemade donuts and hot chocolate! It was delicious! Then the most exciting part of our day took place. We got to open the present that contained the gender of our unborn! As our previous post stated, we are having a boy. Something we were both very surprised to find out. So our little baby Austin Kade Blair will be arriving in May! While we were opening that present we were doing a webcam with each of our families. That made the day and moment more special since we were so far away from each other. After we opened our much anticipated gift, we watched Aaron's parents open up the present we sent to them. We made them memory books that we had put a lot of time into, and we would have been devastated to miss the reactions on their faces! Aaron's dad even got teary eyed...something Aaron says he has never seen happen....EVER! The time we put into those books was definitely worth the reaction we got! We talked to our families a little longer, and then proceeded to have our own little Christmas! It was so much fun to just have the two of us. We opened our presents, and then QUICKLY cleaned the mess that happened. I had to take a picture of the disaster though just to remember it! I'm a bit OCD, and was going a little crazy in the mess. But what is Christmas without a little bit of a mess?
