Jackobi's Christmas present to us was that she let us sleep in until 7:45 AM ... woo hoo! It was awesome! She is such an early riser, I appreciated that extra sleep! We started the day out by seeing what Santa brought to our house ... Jackobi was pretty cute, we could tell she wasn't sure what was going on ... the presents that she's gotten in trouble for getting into were now 'free reign' and she could tear into them. She got the hang of it pretty quick though! She did pretty good, but after the first couple would get about 1/2 way through the package and then she was occupied with the paper. It was funny! Santa also brought a special treat for Nate! He's been eye-ing a bow from Cabela's for months now and finally got it! He was so excited and SO surprised! I love Christmas surprises!! After our house, we headed over the Nate's parents ...
I had hoped that Jackobi had gotten the hang of the whole gift opening part of Christmas, but not so much! She found a couple of packs of gum from Nate's stocking and wouldn't part with them! It was pretty funny. Nate pulled the 'bait and switch' trick on her and she ended up with some real toys instead. Nate and I were really excited to give our exchange gifts this year. We drew Casey and Brian's names. I got Brian a piece of Duke basketball floor autographed by JJ Reddick and Nate got Casey an autographed Chipper Jones bat. I think they really liked them! I love gift giving!! From Nate's parents we headed to his Grandma Taylor's house. Sadly, I forgot my camera in the car @ that stop and didn't want to run out in the blizzard to get it. But it was a good visit! His Uncle Mark and Aunt Barb were there from Illinois and so were his cousin's Josh and Haley from Arizona. After a quick visit there ... we headed to my parents!
By this point in the day Jackobi was getting pretty tired. So she had a little cat nap on the way out to my parents house and it was present opening time!! My neice Anna was there too so it was fun to watch them both! I think they almost 'fed' on eachother as they ripped into things! It was funny though because they always ended up going for the gift that the other one was opening! Such cute girls! We stayed at my parents house for a couple of hours and it was off to our last stop ... Nate's Grandpa and Grandma Christiansen's ...
Every year Nate's Grandparents have their kids and Grandkids and Great Grandkids over for Christmas. We have a yummy dinner and then they have stockings and gifts for us all. It's such a treat! We weren't sure if Nate's Uncle Bruce & his family would make it down from Eagle with the storms, but they did. It was great to see everyone!All in all, we had such a wonderful Christmas!! It was so much fun with Jackobi, now she'll know just what to do with her birthday presents in a couple months ... right??
