Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

So we celebrated Christmas yesterday since my sister Megan came home from Taiwan on Christmas Eve. It was so exciting to see her after the time she was gone. Now she will be getting ready for her mission which seems like hard work when you only have a month and a half (Feb 16). But she is focused and will definitely get it done! I think I just have the perspective of being a mother and if I was to try to do everything she needs to it would take me a lot longer. Good thing she isn't a mother just yet!

So Christmas took two shifts to knock it out of the way! We took forever grouping so we opened our stockings and then it was Grant's nap time and Megan was dealing with jet lag so she napped also. Of course my dad also decided to nap. So then we started back up mid-afternoon. It took us til 6:60 pm to finish up! So the highlights were that I got a sewing machine! Also Perry did really well shopping for me. I got a new bangle watch, very cute and very cheap (you can't tell that its cheap though). He also got me some nomad puddle rain boots with Paisleys and a bunch of different massagers (bath, behind the back and neck, and my mom got me a food massager and a full back massager! Clearance at wal-mart!). I also got chopsticks from Megan and the list goes on!

Overall the family had a good time together! As for New Years I have not been into staying up ever since I met Perry. I just don't seem to have the stamina. Especially with a little one now. However, Grant was gracious enough to wake me up a half hour before and nursed til right before the New Year so we celebrated with a kiss and watched the ball already dropped!

So this year will be exciting and my next post will be about 2010 recap and 2011 resolutions.
