our love, one day at a time...: christmas!

on the morning of christmas eve is started snowing. and it did not stop. its snowed and snowed and snowed. i personally was happy about it because all of our previous snow had melted and we were going to get a white christmas! overall i think we got about a foot of snow.

this christmas eve was pretty mellow. jeremy went during the day to check our mail for the last time before christmas to see if we had more packages. we pretty much had dinner and then later that night before bed xavier listened to his auntie jenna read him "the night before christmas". she bought him one of those hallmark books and recorded herself reading it so he could hear. it was pretty awesome.

we left cookies out for santa and then started finishing up the wrapping and putting the presents out. once we were done with that, we headed to bed.

we woke up and santa came! i was so excited to see xaviers reaction to all of the presents.

of course, we let him open his first. well, the ones he wanted to open. he got through the first one or two and then decided that he just wanted to play with those. jeremy and i really opened up the rest. i was kind of disappointed because i thought he would just want to tear them open, but i guess he is still too young.

after we cleaned up most of them mess we just let xavier play with his toys and we opened up ours. we didnt get a lot of the presents we ordered for each other but we had presents from other people we could open, which was nice. samara came over after we were done and we opened each others presents. we pretty much lounged the rest of the day. we went to our neighbors for a little bit but we couldnt stay long because we were reheating some food up that our dear friend sharon and tom made and gave to us (we were supposed to go over their house for dinner but an unfortunate thing happened and plans changed but they had to cook a 25lb turkey and gave us a lot of it with fixings for our christmas day). that night we just hung out and messed with our new gifts. pretty mellow and oh so nice. oh, we also had to take a bunch of pictures of xavier, but here are a couple:
