We were in Utah for the actual Christmas day (or Pre-Christmas, if you read our last post), so things were low key and relaxed, except for running around cleaning and packing later in the day. Bobby and I woke up before the baby (that NEVER happens!) and opened our stockings. I gave Bobby a ton of candy, and he loaded my stocking down with chocolate and 9 Bert's Bees chapsticks (that's right, 9!!). Almost as if on a timer, Gia woke up once we had finished our stockings, so we got her and brought her out by the tree. We had to get ready for church (Bobby was giving the message that morning), so we left our presents until the afternoon. Bobby did a wonderful job preaching, and I kept Gia with me for part of the service since it was Christmas morning.
After the service was over, we got home and immediately fixed our paper plates of Chinese food (yum!) and Sparkling cider. We watched an episode of Gilmore Girls (my sweet husband tolerated it and made the time special for me) and then opened our gifts while Gianna was napping. Gia woke up, and we got down to business unwrapping her things! She got a gift from me, Bobby, Great Grandpa M, Aunt Fran and Uncle Paul, and Nana. She got some neat things, but was way more interested in the wrapping paper!
We spent the rest of the day eating, watching Christmas movies and packing/cleaning. It was a sweet time of just the three of us, although we missed our families. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, or Merry First Christmas if you're like us! Here are some pictures to commemorate the day. I only put some on here; the rest will be on Facebook.
