Where to begin? I woke up early and opened presents with Abby Ren and daddy (I opened most of Abby's, since she can't yet). Then we headed over to Starbucks and chatted with Jen and Jess for a bit, it was good to see family during the holiday! And then rushed back home, only to find that I forgot to defrost the turkey for dinner! Dun dun dun!
We webcammed with the Storey family (and Grandma Weaver and Aunt Lorrie!), it was good to see them, even if it is only over the computer. Take what you can get, right?
Back to the turkey... I was too scared to cook my own, so I bought a precooked one. Luckily, it defrosted in the oven at 250 for a few hours. Christmas dinner was saved! OK, so I got very overwhelmed and started crying and felt like I ruined the whole day at first. But a couple of single guys came over (they were alone for the holidays, and I took pity on them) and they said dinner was tasty. :)
Abby got some sweet stuff! She loves, loves, LOVES her bumbo seat (which I bought spur-of-the-moment two days ago) and her play mat. And she got a ton of cute clothes and she'll grow into (or out of soon...)
And me? I got a Kindle! Yes, a Kindle. Oh I'm so excited... as I type, I'm thinking about heading downstairs to power it on and read a little. It'll be such a luxury!
And that's not the only reason I'm spoiled. As I cooked Christmas dinner, Matthew kept up on the dishes, and even kept our "company" entertained.
My parents and little sister are in Cheyenne, spending the night before they drive up here tomorrow. I'm excited to have them. They should be here to celebrate Abigail's first Christmas. And even if it IS a day late, she won't know, and we sure don't care. What matters is that we get to see them!
I feel so blessed today. I don't have much else to report... I'm just so glad to be surrounded by such love and blessings. :)
