the Christmas that never ends...

Loved your post and all your pictures, Angela!  I'm glad you guys had a nice time at Ambers - the house looked great in the pictures!  We had a great Christmas - and still have one more to go to tonight!  yikes!  I'm kind of feeling a little "christmas-ed out", but thats okay!  There have just been long days/late nights for Shea, but its kind of nice sleeping in for once, since he's so tired.  Today we have just been hanging out in our pajamas - we watched the second little mermaid with Shea while he played with some toys, then I put him down for a nap, and we took showers and I baked some cookies.  


Christmas Eve we had breakfast at my brother's house and hung out for the day.  Later in the evening we went and visited our old home church for their service, and then went to my parents until about 11PM.  We had so much fun on Christmas morning with Shea - he slept in so late though, I finally went and woke him up at 9:30!  We had fun eating locks and bagels and playing with some new toys.

Later int he day we stopped by Jeremy's Grandma's house and then went up to his parent's for Christmas dinner.  There was about half the family there (tonight we'll see everyone), so we just opened a few presents and had some dinner.

I finally got all my christmas presents finished on Thursday.  I made a diaper bag, two baby blankets (two of Jeremy's siblings are expecting), a camera strap cover, and a fun silly stocking for my sister in law that she wanted (matches her baby blanket).

I finally got my Christmas cards hung up on the wall, just in time to take them down. :P

And, I am sharing this picture because I absolutely love wrapping presents.  I had a lot of fun this year with sort of a simplistic scheme.  These are for tonight at Jeremy's brothers house:

And here we are today: Jeremy has been shelling pistachios for me to make some biscotti with while watching the Seahawks game.

And I finished baking up some leftover cookie dough for tonight:

Merry Christmas!!
