well, now that the holidays are over i can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and tell you guys how christmas and new years was for the kyle and i - pretty much plain awesome! i waited until last minute to wrap any gifts for kyle and started after he went to bed christmas eve around ten. that was pretty dumb of me, although i think i did pretty well at buying them when i did - i finished my shopping in the middle of october.
we woke up at about 8:15 christmas morning. let me rephrase that, kyle woke up at 8:15 and then proceeded to wake me up. since it was christmas, i didn't make him work too hard and got up pretty easily (i am definately NOT a morning girl, sleep is something i worship on a regular basis). kyle was just like a little boy as we took turns opening presents. his "excited fingers" was a regular occurence. (for those of you that don't know what this is, you're are sorely
missing out on a good laugh. when kyle gets excited about something, he feels a great urge to get rid of that energy through his fingers. imagine his fingers close to his face, pointed away from himself, and moving like he is tickling someone really fast. his face also scrunches up and he makes a noise like this: "ewwwww, ewww, ewwww!" i love it! i smile just thinking about it.) i actually catch him doing it quite often. so funny.
we opened gifts from each other and then had our favorite breakfast - crepes with tons of good fruit and syrup as well as fresh squeezed orange juice with the juicer kyle gave me. then we waited until carson and jen woke up and watched the boys open their presents. crazy to think that we will be having the same kind of christmas at the end of this year! the rest of the day was spent with my family and then kyle's, ending at grandma brown's.
the surprise of one of his presents that i was so excited about was ruined when he accidently found out (my fault) what it was. i had decided to make a quilt for him and began to work on it in july. cutting all the squares the same size, fitting them together, sewing them, picking out the backing material, and all the work was ruined when i asked him to switch items from one purse to a matching other one. he saw the receipt of the fabric store and knew what i was making him for christmas. i was pretty bummed to say the least. but, i must say that the quilt (my first) and matching pillowcase turned out so cute!!
so anyway, kyle was doing his excited fingers every couple of seconds, and our first christmas with just the two of us couldn't have been more perfect.
