Christmas Day Wrap

So as it turns out, Christmas Day was very busy. Imagine that! I really wanted to have a post marked 12-25-07, but it just didn't happen. So, here's the deal: I'll give a brief summary and embed a slideshow. It's all I can do to get this post in tonight.

Summary

We spent Christmas Eve night at Christie's parents' house and woke up at around 08:00. The gifting was underway by mid morning with highlights like Willa's Jumperoo stealing a lot of our attention. A good time was had by all with a few surprises (if anyone needs a carpet steam cleaned, just talk to Christie's mom!). Willa's Christmas Day outfit was a hit. One year ago I wouldn't have dreamed of dressing the baby like a mini Santa Clause, but somehow it just seemed so right when we bought the outfit from the clearance rack in Burlington Coat Factory. I mean, how can you say no to "$11.99 - Original Price $19.99" That's like, $8 dollars we saved!!

Anyway, we had our afternoon at my mom and step-dad's house (you'll see some of those photos in the slideshow as well. Watch out for Bonnie) and had a proper mahem like time. This might have been the most exhausting (but most fun) Christmas I've had in a long time and the cliche perhaps is true in that it's more enjoyable with a child of your own. Willa is extrasuper cute even without the Baby Santa outfit... but with it, she is deadly. We love her so much.

Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year
