Christmas Eve 2013

Posted on December 24, 2012 | Leave a comment

Christmas eve went by pretty fast. I ran out last night for some last-minute errands. One of them was getting a new litter box for Milo and Madison. (It was time.) Merry Christmas kitties!

My dad picked us up around three-thirty. Gavin and I opened out presents from Gavin’s brother and sister-in-law before leaving. We got some pretty cool stuff, including handmade penny rugs- made by Gavin’s mom. (I think that’s what they’re called.)

Later that night, we made Christmas cookies and had shrimp and baby hot dogs.

Packages in the Mail!

Jessica was out visiting her friend. Gavin and I made pirogues with onions and sour cream. Super yum.

I finally got through the stack of holiday cards which felt good. It sort of felt like the wedding all over again but surprisingly much less stressful. Gavin and I wanted to include photos or atleast a personal message but that felt ambitious for this year. Maybe in 2013.

Milo was very excited about the large package we received in the mail today. We opened it. There were wrapped presents inside and a few surprises.

One was a rare edition baseball card from a famous player back in the day, signed by the player himself.

We’re going to save the presents to open on Christmas eve before we leave for my parents’ house.
