christmas morning

i had such a great holiday. i came home from work on christmas eve and dave had spent his morning off cleaning the house and our hardwood floors were shiny and beautiful. i walked into the kitchen and in the middle of the table was two dozen red roses and a letter to me from dave. it made me cry. i love dave so much and he knows just how to make me feel special. after i read the letter, we went to brunch at mimi's cafe and came home and got ready for dinner at aunt rosemary's house. it was so fun to see rosemary and kent, jennifer, david and catherine and their families. it was the icing on the cake to have my brother thomas arrive at 7:30. he had had such a rough drive in the snow and it was so great to see him and give him a hug. i cannot remember a better christmas. i truly enjoyed the time that i was able to spend with thomas, dave, rachel, jeremy and jj. dave spoiled me silly, and it has been so fun to use the fancy new gadgets that he bought for me. i can't wait to take the christmas decorations down so i can hang up my new mirror, it matches our bookcase perfectly.

this is the present that was in the big gold box, it has been such a lifesaver in helping me sleep. baby knows me well...


rachel, jeremy and jj came over to open presents and eat some brunch. it was so fun to spend time with them.

What a wonderful Christmas. When I was preggo with the girls, I had the maternity pillow, it worked well, until I couldn't lay in bed anymore. Happy New Year!
