Christmas 2011!
This year we went up to Pinetop with the Guthries. We left the Friday before Christmas and arrived at almost 3 the next morning. If you bring enough bottles, traveling with a newborn is pretty easy. The whole Guthrie clan was there minus Missionary Dax and the Hunter's. Christmas Eve we sat around and lounged! Yes! We baked Santa's cookies, rode the rhino, and made homemade chicken noodle soup. Soup is a Guthrie tradition on Christmas Eve. After a last minute Walmart run, we wrapped the rest of our presents. Before we knew it, the day was over and it was time for Christmas jammies!! Gram got the cutest pair of red monkey jams. He soon vomited on them! (Oops, mom must have been eating a lot of junk food this weekend!)

Christmas morning we made breakfast and opened the rest of our presents. Since Gram was such a good boy this year (easy pregnancy, easy delivery, and easy 2 months of life), Santa brought him his first Michael Jordan shoes! Size 3, how adorable! It came with a matching beanie. He also received a new hoodie outfit and play toys from Gramma G. Gav got Michael Jordan sweatpants and Gucci Guilty cologne. De-lish! My husband gave me the Flowerbomb giftset!! Heaven's scent in a bottle! Later that day, we built gingerbread houses and rode the rhino. Gav and I ran off the rode and got the rhino stuck. We even had to get the winch out to move it out of the snow! Haha. All in all, It was a GREAT Christmas!!

Monday went packed up and drove to my parents house. Howard had been in town and I've been so excited to see him! He finally got to meet Gram. It's fun seeing other people's facing when it hits them we actually have a child. Haha. We exchanged gifts and played games. Everyone spoiled Gram with new outfits and toys. Then of course we ate a ton of candy. I always trick Fifi and tell her Gram likes a certain candy, then eat it behind her back! I love holidays with my family.

Having our own little family made it the best Christmas ever.
