Christmas 2010

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings *were* hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

And the rest of my pictures don’t really go with the rest of the poem, so I’ll stop there and just share the remainder of our Christmas pictures. 

Playing a little Wii…

Before Christmas Eve service…

Santa came!

I feel like Matt and I went out with a bang this Christmas – because I’m guessing next Christmas a certain little girl named Hadley will be the star of the show.  We got so many wonderful, generous gifts this year and feel so blessed!  A couple of my favorites were…

A DSLR camera!  I have been wanting one of these for awhile, and am so excited to take some good pictures! 

Matt and I also got a video camera to take videos of Hadley once she’s here…

I got some new luggage thanks to my sweet in-laws!  Both of these bags from Jon Hart – only in black/tan and not the colors below.  One of these bags is already packed with things (including the cute lounging clothes my sister got me) for the hospital!

And, because our phones were dying (and I was not okay with Matt not having a phone that worked this close to the due date), my sweet husband got us both iPhones!

We had such a great Christmas this year – it’s hard to believe that next year we’ll have an almost 1 year old to add to the celebration!
