The Calm Before The Storm!!!!!

This is the title that I always give Christmas Eve!! Our Christmas Day is always so crazy, but we are also so thankful to have such a wonderful family!

So what did we do during the calm......

Nana and Granddad came down yesterday to paint the nursery! It is so beautiful. We chose a light green color to match the bedding! It looks perfect!

We also put the crib together. Lexy was alittle confused about this, but I am hoping she will be ok with the whole baby thing!

Thank you Nana and Granddad for painting.. Thank you Kelly and Andy for saving us TONS of money with a crib.. Thank you Alice and John for buying our bedding for us! Patrick and I are really blessed with great families!

Today Patrick is working, but Nana stayed last night so she could drive me home. (I don't really do well in the car anymore).

We are going to a Birthday party for Jesus at my sister's house for lunch and then tonight I will go to the Christmas Eve service with Patrick's family and then my dad's church for communion.

Hopefully Patrick will be home when I get home from church!

Then we go to sleep to get ready for the storm! :)

This Christmas will be alittle different because it is the last one that we will spend the night on Christmas Eve at my parent's house. Next year we have decided to spend Christmas morning at our house for Mary Alice to open her presents!

Our Christmas Day consists of seeing Patrick's family, seeing Patrick's mom family, seeing my family, seeing my Dad's family, and seeing Patrick's dad family. We usually do my mom's family after Christmas. So as you can see we go many places in one day. Although by the end of the day we are exhausted we really do enjoy seeing all of the family! Patrick and I have been very blessed with great families that love to spoil us and now they are going way overboard with Mary Alice.

So even though this is the calm before the storm, we wouldn't change it for the world! :)

I hope everyone has a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)
