My Christmas Present

Today we picked up my Christmas Present....new bedroom furniture!!!

The furniture that we had in our room will go into the spare bedroom which we are making into Lil Miss C's big girl room.

Christmas is ending

Today we celebrated our last Christmas, the B Family Christmas.

Bitter sweet day

Today was a bitter sweet day. We have been car shopping for a few weeks now and we have decided on what we want and it has worked out financially for us to be able to do it, so today i traded in my 2001 Pontiac Sunfire.

for a 2012 Ford Escape.

While i am SUPER excited to have a new SUV, i am sad to be getting rid of  my car. I have had it since 2002, 10 years, lots and lots of memories in my FIRST car. I will miss it but it is time to move onto a bigger car.

Christmas Day

So we woke up on Christmas morning at Mama & Papa C's house like we always do, but this year we brought Lil Miss C a present from Santa for her to open before everyone else arrived.

Then after everyone else showed up, we started opening presents....needless to say, the parents said they were cutting back this year, but it sure did not seem so as everyone got a ton of great stuff.

Can you tell they were oh so happy about having their picture taken.

After breakfast we headed down to visit with Grandma W, UB&AK

We then headed home for our own Christmas.

Helping Daddy open his present. This year Mr. C and I did bigger presents, he got a gun safe and i am going to get new bedroom furniture, so we just need a small gift to open with Lil Miss C.

Lil Miss C's big gift this year was a kitchen play set!

All of the festivities wore her out, this was right before nap time.

Merry Christmas!! We had a wonderful day celebrating.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent with the H Family. After Church we went to D&M's for dinner and a fun filled evening.

Christmas begins

Our Christmas festivities began this year on December 8 with Mr. C's extended family Christmas  Mr. C and Lil Miss C went as I had to work.

We then took a lil break with birthday fun before more Christmas celebrations. On December 22 the W's decided to have everyone together for the evening, normally they all celebrate on Christmas Day and we haven't been able to go, but as everyone is getting older, they decided to do it the weekend before Christmas Day this year. After visiting there for a while, we left and headed to J&H's for Christmas with S&K and J.

Today Sunday December 23 we headed to my parent's house for Christmas with my siblings. To say it was crazy is an understatement. I really didn't enjoy how we opened presents this year. Everyone just started opening and it was hard to enjoy watching everyone open their presents. Hopefully next year we can take turns or do something different.

A wonderfully busy weekend spent with family.

Birthday Dinner

Happy Birthday Mr. C!!! To celebrate we spent the day together, got a little Christmas shopping done, went to a Dr's appointment and then had dinner with our families at Mr. D's...

At dinner we had Lil Miss C open up a present and we announced that we found out we are having a lil girl!
