Our Christmas Re-Cap!

Hello all! and Happy New Year! I am a little bit late on getting this up. I thought that I would do it as soon as we got back from Estevan but in all honesty I have not felt like doing much of anything. My days have been pretty unstressful (if that's a word) and relaxing. But here's a little summary of what we did over the holidays:
We stayed at my parents house on the 23rd, which was a blast, we watched movies, played some poker and just hung out. It was a good time. Then on the 24th we went to church at 3pm which was a total gong show for us. We were running late, Nathan & I, we had thought we had given ourselves enough time to drop the dogs off at our house and then get to the church for the service but not! We were meeting my family there so we weren't worried about not getting a seat because they had said that they would save some for us. Well there we were cruising down circle drive on a mission to get to church when out of nowhere this mattress appears. Nathan couldn't slam on the brakes because he would have caused a vehicle pile up. So he went over it. Well right on Nathan! The flippin thing got caught/stuck under the flipping van. So Nathan pulled over and tried to get the stupid thing out. Yeah, easier said then done, we eventually figured it out, Nathan stood on the mattress and I put the van in drive and pinned it. Needless to say I was a big ball of Christmas joy after that little episode! The remainder of the day was good though. We went back to mom and dad's and had an awesome Christmas dinner. Then we opened presents and hung out for the rest of the night! (It went pretty good considering I had an insane head cold and couldn't breathe!)
We left early on the morning of the 25th for Estevan. Bella was a doll all the way there. She just sat on Nathan's lap and looked out the window, had a few naps and played with her toys. The next few days were full of house hopping and visiting like crazy. We spent the 26th with Nathan's parents and siblings. I had lots of fun shopping with is Grandma, Mom and sisters. We got Vicki to buy hot mom pants!! So cute!! Probably the highlight for sure for me! Nathan was pretty bummed that his brother wasn't able to make it down from Fort McMurray though. But he still had a good time! We came home on the 27th because we thought that Nathan had to work on the 28th but it turns out he didn't have to go in until the 2nd of January. So that was kind of crummy to find out that we did have more time to visit!

Well I think that is all I have in me right now everybody! I will do another post soon. We have been working on the baby room so I'll have to get those pictures on here so you can all see it! Until then take care and God bless!!
