Christmas Eve
For Christmas this year, we spent Christmas Eve at the Nehmer's house (per Carter's begging request). We have a tradition of opening one gift for our secret santa that we drew on Christmas Eve. Carter was literally counting down the hours until he could open his ONE gift. Leave it to Bill Nehmer to have a trash bag ready before any tearing open of paper starts so that no paper accumulates on the floor and makes a mess. Love your tidiness Dad!
Carter drew Rick this year, and hand wrapped his gift. He ran a little short in the middle of the box he said. Final gift: A man diaper bag from diaper dude.com- stocked and ready to go with toys, diapers, wipes, binkies, and everything a dad would need.
A candid shot of every Nehmer child. Rick noticed we have a giant couch and plenty of seating but we all want to sit right on top of each other. We are a close family :) Look how enthralled the boys are with the first NBA game of the season. Look how clever Carter is with his new head lamp (thank you Rick)- he's using the red night vision to see if he can see inside my tummy to spot the baby. Look how big my belly is. Look how comfy Zoe is.
My proudest wrapping job- a perfect tower of tiny gifts for Jordy- polaroid film for his antique camera that we finally figured out on Christmas day.
Rick ready to open his Christmas morning loot: his take home included: an upland game pheasant shirt, north face vest, browning hat, ear phones, etc.
Just what I wanted!! Thank you Santa :)
Gray Family Party
No Christmas season is complete without a white elephant exchange- Carter was thrilled with his pink snugee.
My girl cousins are all pregnant at the same time- ALL WITH BOYS!!!! I'm so excited to share this journey with them! From left to right- Sydney due in February, Me- due in March, Lindsay- due in April, Lauren- due in May (Andrea was missing, but is due in June). I can't wait to get all these little boys together for a picture.
Obviously Sydney and I wanted babies for Christmas since we were little. Here we are in about 1988- holding our new Christmas babies. Her little boy looks just about one month older than mine, don't you think? And now it's really happening!! So fun!
Haha! While I'm not such a fan of my huge-ole-belly pic I do love the cute one of us as kids holding our babies!! You and I were SO into our babies weren't we?! I too am thrilled that we get to have our 'real' babies so close together- they are going to be the best of buds :)Glad you guys had a great Christmas. The Gray party was definitely a blast!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Christmas! Looks like a blast. I didn't know Lindsay & Lauren were pregnant too, how fun! That will be so cool to have so many little cousins, how awesome. Happy New Year!
