Christmas Celebrations (Part 2)

Matt, Emma and I did our gifts as a little family on the Tuesday night before we left for Hawaii. I was fine with waiting until we got back, but Matt really wanted to open before we left. Since we knew Emma would be spoiled by her grandparents and aunts and uncles, we got her a few things and didn't over buy as I know there are years to come for that! We kept it simple and got her some leggings, jeans and a couple small toys. She wasn't too interested, but we know that next year will be that much more fun. Matt and I exchanged gifts even though we both said we didn't need anything. I got Matt a new tv for his office at work along with a new shirt and tie. Matt remembered that my iPod doesn't work anymore and got me a new one with an iTunes gift card and one to Gap. He does listen when I drop hints :) 

We rounded out our celebrations with my family on the Sunday after we got back with a delicious brunch. Emma was getting a bit cranky half way through breakfast, so we knew that if we didn't act fast that opening gifts could be a disaster. She did good though and made it through most of the gifts before she fell asleep on grandma's lap. My mom of course overdid it and claims she didn't realize how much clothes she really bought for her. Or that's what she is telling my dad. Emma is a spoiled little girl, that's for sure. 

I can't wait (okay, I can) for the Christmas celebrations to come and seeing her excitement over everything surrounding this joyous holiday!
