"It's Christmas Time in the City"

We had a very Happy Christmas this year!

We woke up early Christmas morning; I still get all sorts of "what did Santa bring me this year" excitement and can't sleep. I will say that sleeping hasn't really been going that well lately any way, so it was no surprise that I was up and ready to go!
The little buddy, Duff got a new coat from grandma Gentry this year and doesn't he look stylish sporting this new Zebra print? How could you not love a cute face like that? He was super tired after all the excitement of the Christmas Eve Party and was not quite ready to wake up and open presents yet. He is somewhat of a lazy dog which has worked out to our benefit most of the time.

We got lots of great gifts this year! Here is a new video camera to replace the old one that was stolen out of our luggage by the airport workers this summer. We need to be able to document little B's cuteness for all to see, so it is imperative that we have this! Thanks Dad...again.

Every year there is a gift that makes Christian tear up a bit; he is such a tender heart, he takes after his mommy in this respect. Yes! Mission Accomplished!

We opened all our presents, called some family, took a Christmas nap, and then got up and went to a movie. I know lots of people do this on Christmas, but it was a first for me. We saw DOUBT which we really enjoyed. After the movie, we did something I have always wanted to do ever since watching
A Christmas Story
growing up.......eat Christmas dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I know I am a weirdo, but it was much fun! There were a few other people in the restaurant, but not many! We went to the local China Delight and had some delicious food! This is not a traditional thing to do, but hey it was not the traditional Christmas for us and we had a great time!

Here is my cute hubby enjoying his "Chinese turkey"!
"Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra!"

I am also pretty happy as I ate my orange chicken, even though you might not be able to tell from this photo.

We went home after an enjoyable meal with our Chinese friends and watched, what else but...
A Christmas Story.
It was a wonderful Christmas if I do say so myself. It was nice and relaxing and enjoyable to spend so much quality time with the love of my life before this little guy arrives.

(BTW, he can come at any point now, I am totally ready for him!
Get out of my belly!)

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas as well! We love and miss all our family and friends during this time of year, and hope that everyone had a blessed holiday season!
