Christmas Part Deux 2013

I hope you all had wonderful holidays this year!

We spent the first half of our Christmas celebrations with hubby’s family in Durham, NC, where we helped Santa bring the tree for the kiddos on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, I caught a 24 hour bug of some sorts and ended up sick on Christmas, so I didn’t take any photos from the day. I slept through a lot of the day, but I did get to partake in two of the key family events – Christmas morning and Christmas dinner. I definitely didn’t want to miss hubby’s family (especially the kids!) opening their presents or catching up with his extended family.

We headed to Greenville the day after Christmas for part deux of our celebrations.

By this point, I was not feeling 100%, but I definitely felt a lot better!

Bailey, on the other hand, had an absolute blast.

He got to open a ton of presents…

…and this year my family even got him his own stocking with a “B” on it. So cute!

I think he was feeling a bit like the Happy Bunny – “It’s all about me. Deal with it.”

Mom made me some of her famous Get Well Soup (which I’ve blogged about before – click here for the recipe).

We ended up having to push our Christmas dinner back a couple days (since I’m easing my way back to food), which I feel bad about, but better late than never, right? I’m just so thankful we’ve been able to spend so many days with each of our families. It’s so nice to have some good down time with the people we love to end the year.
