Christmas






I was so excited on the 23rd, because I kept telling Jordan that is Christmas Eve to us. We celebrate with his family on the 24th and with my family on the 25th. When woke up on Christmas Eve I came downstairs and Jordan told me he had bad news. Some families members were sick and we were not going to head over there to celebrate Christmas together, because it just wasn't worth it with a newborn. I was really sad and cried about it. I am usually not a crier, but my hormones have been going crazy and I have been super emotional. I was sad we wouldn't get to spend the time with family and really sad Laney wouldn't get to celebrate Christmas with her cousins.

Christmas day we spent the morning at home. We actually had to wake Laney up! I was so excited to watch her open presents, but she was SO SLOW! She wanted to play with everything instead of opening her next present. We enjoyed watching her open presents and playing with her new toys and reading the new books as Carson snoozed away in his bed. He sure seems to do nothing but sleep :)

Later we headed to my parents to celebrate with them, my brother, and his girlfriend. We had breakfast and enjoyed just relaxing as Laney took a nap and I snuggled Carson :)

That evening we headed to my Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate with the extended family. We had a great time and the food was yummy as always. I got a bit overwhelmed as it was just too much to do all in one day with 2 kids after having a C-section 5 days prior. Laney is just super busy and it is so hard to keep up with her especially since she wants mommy to do EVERYTHING. We had a wonderful Christmas this year and we were so thankful to celebrate as a healthy family of 4!
