Christmas this year was a lot different than last year. Having a baby made Christmas kind of a blur! Even though things were hectic we still tried to do all of our traditions we did last year! I think we did pretty good for our first time!
On Christmas Eve Scott had to work until 4 pm so while he was gone I had a dinner cooking in a crockpot. Cooking and having a newborn is quite a feat, thank goodness for crockpots. They are such a life saver. Once Scott got home we ate our delicious dinner and turned on some Christmas music. 
Our tree was on all day! After dinner we watched the Nativity and went out to see Christmas lights. Chloe slept the whole drive. We love that she loves her car rides, at least for now. It was fun to look at the lights but it's sad that not as many people put up lights as when we were kiddos. We came back to the house and finished the night with Home Alone 2. Gosh that movie makes us laugh so hard!
Christmas Day we woke up so excited to open all our presents! And it had finally started snowing! The first snowfall on Christmas Day! I was like a little kid so ready to open presents and watch the snow fall. Chloe slept through all the present opening little stinker. Next Christmas will be much more fun for her! Since we wanted Chloe to try and be awake for SOME of the present opening Scott & I went ahead and opened our presents first. 
Scott got me TONS of disney movies! I can finally say I have made a DENT in my disney collection. I got Tarzan, Mulan, Toy Story 1-3, Monsters Inc, The Lorax, Aladdin, The Lion King, and the Incredibles. And yes, those movies are for me not for Chloe haha She's just an added bonus. 
I also got a bunch of musicals I have been wanting forever! And, being the nice wife I am I am going to introduce Scott to every one of them =) My parents got me a new iHome. Thank goodness because the one I had gotten a while ago had suddenly decided to die on me. Scott got some xbox games, new shoes, a new board game, some ties and the best present of all was a pair of Lightsaber Chopsticks! He was soo excited about them. I love my little Star Wars Nerd.
After we finished opening all of our presents we tried to wake up Chloe so she would be a part of her present opening but she wasn't that excited about new clothes and toys she just wanted to sit in her swing and sleep. Silly girl. I can't wait to dress her up in all the cute outfits she got! She needs to get bigger so I can start playing dress up with her. It will be so much fun! Once presents were all done we watched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. Scott had never seen it. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!The rest of the day we relaxed and played with our new toys and watched a bunch of movies. It was such a good Christmas!
