Christmas Pictures

Haylie - the most gorgeous Christmas baby ever...

(this might be the best picture I've ever taken - I need KAG's photoshop to take out my mom's hand and the yellow baby blanket!!!)

My bro - Phil,
Sis - Jenna,
Brother in Law - Kyle

On Christmas morning
(above) I'm confident enough to put pre-showered pictures of myself :) he he. I just had to show off my most luxurious-ever robe that Jeff gave me for Christmas. I LOVE LOVE IT.

And Haylie looks so cute too.

This was taken Christmas Eve.

Baby had enough celebrating.

(above) Jenna, my Mom, and I playing Cranium. We lost.

(below) Kyle, a very overexcited Matt, Phil, Kayden and a barely there pic of Dad.

(above) the only pic taken of Jeff and I, and it's blurry. And I'm doing the over-smiling thing. Taken on Dec 23, as Jeff went home on the 24th. He's wearing the sweater I bought him, and proudly displaying the gift certificate for the Fishing Hole, along with his stocking that was jammed packed full of fun stuff. Lynnel and I also went together and bought him a little golf package - hat, oilers ball marker and golf balls for his birthday which is on Christmas Eve. Yes Lynnel. She insisted on paying for part of it because she wanted to get him a gift! It was cute of her. And also great for me.
I am holding the teddy bear that came with my 14 k white gold necklace that I am wearing, an awesome electric blanket to keep me warm and cozy at night (it's incredible), and a gift certificate for La Senza. The little green box is a fishing hook that was actually a joke.
He also surprised me on Christmas morning with the robe in the picture above that I had been begging for since September.

Haylie and Kayden in the play thing I bought for Haylie for Christmas. Haylie's sleeper says "Baby's First Christmas" and it was pretty cute.

So all in all, Christmas was just wonderful. I went to bed last night thinking it had been a perfect day besides Jeff not being there. We opened gifts from the family and mom and dad had bought me this absolutely gorgeous glass jewelry box from the Bombay company, along with some beautiful jewelry to put in it (seems appropriate doesn't it?!). I think the tassle is going to have to come off soon :) The parents also got me one of the most fun-filled stockings ever, with lots of chocolates, Body Shop goodies, scrapbooking supplies, lotions and potions, etc, etc. Phil got me the Snow Patrol CD, Matt got me 3 very trendy picture frames from Twisted Goods, and Jenna bought me a NYC calender and a girly book to waste my time on which I love. I still have a gift coming from Jeff's mom and dad.

I feel a little bit spoiled rotten this year.

After presents we had a huge delicious brunch and spent the afternoon relaxing, napping and doing whatever. We went for Christmas dinner at the Hilton and it was amazing and lovely and elegant. Nobody minded that we didn't have supper at home one bit. Then we went through the Enchanted Forest, supposedly the biggest light show in Canada, which is always a good Christmas thing to do. After that we came home and watched "Miracle on 34th Street" which really puts a smile on anyones face :) Oh I'm being so cheezy.

But it really was a great Christmas! I think I'll spend my last day off cleaning my very messy room, trying to figure out You Tube to download a very funny little video of Kayden to share with you all, and eating leftovers. PERRRRRRFECT!

So maybe for the last time (this year anyway).... Merry Christmas everyone!
