Christmas Eve

I didn't mean to take a break but the last few days have been packed. Plus we have all these new cool toys around to play with and a new couch! Dave and I a few years ago decided to do a joint gift for each other. Something that we need/want around the house. This year was a couch. I will post pictures of it soon. But here is our Christmas Eve...

We spent the day at Dave's dads house. We had a huge dinner, celebrated Elinor's birthday and had fun with family. Ruby and Reid were there which made Elinor over the top excited. We have spent so many holidays with them in MA. They always invited us when we stayed home and didn't have anywhere to go, like last Christmas. It's so cute to see Elinor ask for her aunt, uncle and cousins now. She is finally remembering their names and loves to spend time with them. Makes me so happy to live closer to everyone now. 

look at the explosion of gifts under pop pops tree! 

leave it to Elinor to find a crown laying around the house and claim it.

Elinor was taking random gifts all night and trying to open them. She was good about putting them back when we said they weren't for her but that didn't stop her from trying over and over. I love Christmas so much more now having Elinor. Watching the kids get so excited about everything is so cute. They were even excited watching each other open gifts and passing out gifts. It was so sweet.

 These three are too funny. I love the pictures Justine took too.

Tomorrow will be our Christmas morning post!

momma and baby style

kind of...I wanted to get good pictures of us the other day but we ended up forgetting. Dave did snap this picture of us snuggling before I had to put her in the carseat.

Nursery tour

I've been up for way too long already this morning so since I'm up I will finally post the nursery pictures. I could have done better and I will probably retake some after our shower next weekend. Since taking these the glider is now in the livingroom and the changing table is pushed over. The huge shelf in there for now is full of Dave's side business but as soon as baby can move/crawl the rows will slowly be replaced with books and toys. The room is pretty small but perfect for the little one.

Her closet is fully stocked with amazing gifts and hand me downs from awesome friends and family. I even have had her bassinet set up next to our bed that Dave's mom bought us for months. You never know, she might come early! But most likely not.
