My Christmas spirit has been crushed! Mainly because I have no one or no where to go or see! I just woke up from a 2 hour nap, and now I feel ever more tired and gross and crappy. The christmas baking is giving me heartburn. BAH HUMBUG!!
We did all our Christmas fun today because we couldn't wait till tomorrow.. Opened presents from each other, lots of silly little cheap things that made us giggle, and packages from family up north.. DH's sister won the cool gift prize, she sent us this very funny baby book:
I love Christmas in California! I went to Whole Foods while my sister did some last minute shopping and soaked up some rays outside while I waited for her to be done.

Just like me to not know what I want for Christmas until 3 hours away from the day. I just realized that I want a kitchen aid stand mixer. Hey! My birthday is on valentines day. That'll just be what I want for my birthday.
Totally just got teared up thinking this will be mine and DH's last Christmas Eve as just us. Next year we will be parents to a beautiful 8 month old baby girl and Santa will be coming to visit us :-) Awe. We are all going to be mommies next year! Cheers to watching our little ones open their gifts next year and enjoy playing with the wrapping and box more than the gift! And a double cheers to all you STM who get to participate in all the fun tonight!

We just finished filling stockings, laying out Santa gifts and DH is taking one for the team drinking a giant mug of milk and biting out of each cookie. I can't believe we'll be doing this for 4 next year!!!
Christmas doesn't feel right without the traditions of my childhood. So weirdddddd. DH and I have yet to establish our own. Thankful to be with my family this year- faking our way through new "traditions".

DH and I didn't get each other gifts this year because we bought tickets to the winter classic (hockey game). So, in order to still make sure he got some Christmas surprises (since this is his second year celebrating the holiday) I made a registry for him that I didn't share with him, but gave to my parents. I did, however, tell him about this list so that he knew all of the awesome stuff actually came "from" me. tonight he got a new shirt that looks AWESOME and branches out his style a bit as well as the Ron Burgandy book- his face was PRICELESS. Oh, and I totally got stuff for the baby.

Just cried my eyes out at our candlelight service imagining trying to keep the flame away from my 8 month old next year. Hung stockings with care imagining embroidering one more with a name we don't yet know a year from now. So many firsts are coming, and I can't wait to share them with my baby! Merry Christmas A14 mommas!

I understand about having to get used to new traditions. This is only my 2nd Christmas away from my family and it just doesn't feel like Christmas here. I, too, have been thinking of how excited I am for next year and how much fun Christmas will be again with my own child!
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Sooo I finally got done making cookies and homemade vanilla bean ice cream for tomorrow (boss DID end up letting us leave early around 1pm)! I'll share them with you ladies virtually, unless you happen to be in the Twin Cities area. I got two Snoogles for Xmas, so guess I'll be returning one and getting some fun covers for it Oh and tons of baby clothes for James.
And then DH and I banged loud enough for the neighbors to hear. +1 to spending Christmas just the two of us!
DH "gave" me my present tonight!!! He's buying me a 3D/4D ultrasound to see baby boy!!! So excited! I know some people find them creepy, but I'm thrilled!!
Sweet! DH was legitimately freaked out by the 30 seconds or so of the 3D ultrasound they surprised us with at the A/S, so definitely not for us but so glad you get to have another peek at your little nugget! That's a lovely gift.
I told DH I am usually up to pee or with insomnia around midnight so I would play nurse and bring him his antibiotic, water, and a snack for the next week and a half and he would only have to keep track of the other three times a day he has to take it. Literally just hand fed a grown half-asleep man a sandwich while rubbing his back... He's not even sick!! (The antibiotic is for an infection that developed from an irritated hair follicle) I have a very spoiled husband...

Only if we can all sleep in the new bed! No Eastcoasters allowed!
Can we Upper Plains people come please??
Yes. Only because I don't know geography or where the plains are. Bring Carmel popcorn!
I'm in Minnesota Talla!
