Christmas with the Baumgartners

This was the first Christmas in which we actually stayed home to celebrate the holiday.  I worked until Friday and Kurt had to work Monday and Tuesday (at 4:30 am nonetheless) so it would have been impossible to visit all of our family.  Therefore we made the executive decision to stay in town this year for Christmas.  It was a good thing because unfortunately on Friday we ended up running to the Immediate Care because Cohen had started up with his cough - and once he starts, it only gets worse.  And with the holidays, we knew there would be nothing open so we got him started on the meds right away, but he's fine now.  So with the sickness, we all went to bed early on Christmas Eve.  It was really nice to watch movies and hang out in my own bed that night, especially after the incredibly long week we just had.  I loved being able to spend some quiet time with the hubby for once without feeling too tired to move.  Then, we got up on Christmas morning, opened presents and ate an abundance of cinnamon rolls and candy from our stockings.  My parents, sister and brother in law came into town later that day, so we had a big meal and presents again.  Overall, we had a really nice Christmas - hopefully next year we'll be in our new and bigger house and we can invite everyone over for a huge Christmas slumber party!  But honestly, I really enjoyed spending Christmas with our family at home this year!

The singing monkey -- a perfect solution for the crabby toddler.


Getting the hang of this unwrapping presents thing!


Ooo, even Brother had to get his nose into the fun.


La la la, Elmo's World -- not going to lie, this is kinda creepy but we love putting our finger in his mouth as he talks.

Happy Holidays!
