We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve this year since I had to work on Christmas Day. We went to church and were planning on having Claire open her presents when we got home from church. Well, she decided to not take a nap in the late afternoon that day so she had been awake from 2pm until 8pm. We were hoping that she would sleep some in church, but that didn't happen. So by the time we got home to open presents, she was exhausted. We did manage to get her to open two (all the while looking at us with pleading eyes to go to bed!) and had to wait until Christmas day for the others. When I got home from work on Christmas day, Claire was more awake and ready to tear into the presents. She was more interested in eating the paper than in the toys at first! It was fun to watch her tear at the paper, which immediately went to her mouth! We hope she likes what she got and hope she will play with the toys lots.
It is a bit tough spending Christmas without our family. The day went by very fast though with me working and Jeff watching football with his little girl. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
We want to say congratulations to Brandon and Annie on the birth of their baby boy! We wish so badly that we could be there to share in this amazing time with y'all. We are so thankful that you have kept us in the loop and we thank God you are blessed with a healthy, BIG baby (I think Annie's goal was to push longer and have a bigger baby than me! Way to be the overachiever Annie!). Congratulations again and we cannot wait to meet him.
