Christmas 2013

  Gary and I had the opportunity to visit my family for Christmas again this year. Because Gary's company is part of the stock market, they cannot be closed for two or more consecutive days, so unfortunately he had to be back at work the next day. But he did enjoy the time off while he had it!

 We traveled to Bakersfield Christmas Eve and stayed the night. The next morning, the both of us got up early to shower and get ready, then enjoy a nice breakfast before opening gifts. I was able to get some really nice maternity clothes and cute sweaters, while Gary also got some nice clothes, books, and games. 










 After a nice nap and a small lunch, my brother Devonn, his wife Carla, and their kids came over to visit and open more presents. Gary and I opened our present from them and were nearly in tears from the gift (from laughing). Inside was a pretty sweet Target gift card (and not an actual animal-style water bottle and trough, though they did toss a water bottle in there).



Anyway, after a delicious dinner, we headed home for the night. It was definitely nice being able to visit family and be in the Christmas spirit! I'm looking forward to next year's Christmas when we have a little active 7 month old! :)

Glad you thought the gift was as funny as us ;)

We need to get together and play Gary's Cards Against Humanity game sometime.
