Hope you had a Merry Christmas, Belated Three Months, 30-something years, and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  Ours was wonderful, stressful, but wonderful!  It is actually a miracle we survived the holiday!  We finished decorating the Christmas tree and mantel around 9 PM on Christmas Eve,  started cooking for Christmas day after that, then came wrapping presents.  Poor Kevin didn’t even go to bed!  I suppose little Kevin wouldn’t have known the difference if all his gifts weren’t wrapped (or even if we didn’t get him any), but we did our best to make the day perfect for our little man.  

He even helped open some gifts!

Christmas morning came and went, and then came our big Christmas dinner for 23. I did not realize how much work it is to host a big holiday party!  I was so frazzled I didn’t even get to take photos of all the tasty food and the pretty table (bad blogger).  My mom did send me a picture of part of the table…

And she even snapped a pic of Santa handing out gifts to the little ones (Kevin is such a good sport!)…

I would say a good time was had by all!  

With all the chaos in our house preparing for the party, I forgot to share our Christmas Card and Kevin’s 3 month photos…

Our little peanut did such a great job posing for mommy in his Santa suit.  Does that backdrop look familiar to anyone?  Which reminds me, a final nursery post should be coming up soon in 2013.  On that note, I hope everyone has a very safe and happy New Year’s Eve!  

Did you have a nice holiday?  Do you have big plans for tonight?

Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention the 30-something part of the title…in between all the Christmas and New Years fun I celebrated my birthday.  Kevin did everything he could to make it a very special day (actually more like weekend) for me, and he definitely succeeded.  The Kevins met me for lunch at work, we went out for Italian for dinner, and my family came over for birthday cake!  Thanks Kevin and family for making me feel so loved =)
