Christmas Wrap-Up

Just like that, Christmas 2009 is over! Although this year was definitely not like any other. Christmas Eve was fine, Kelly had to work that afternoon and evening. So, I ran some last minute errands and snuck in a mani/pedi. Then I spent the evening prepping a yummy Christmas breakfast to have ready for Kelly when he got home. Well, the intention was there, but by 5 a.m. Christmas morning I was sick. I woke up on my 33rd birthday with the stomach flu. So, I spent the rest of the day on the couch. What a great birthday/Christmas, huh? By night time I was starting to feel better, thank goodness!

December 26 I finally managed to get out of the house. Kelly and I met my Nino and Aunt Diane at Babies R Us to look at some nursery furniture. We then went over to my Uncle Max's house for his birthday/family Christmas gathering. I went with my can of chicken noodle soup, but at least I was feeling much better and was able to see my family.

By Sunday I was back to eating again. Before going to South Coast Plaza, we went to Bergstroms to look at some more furniture. We found a crib and changing table we liked, so that will probably be the one we end up with. From there we celebrated my birthday with lunch at The Clubhouse and walked around South Coast. We ended the afternoon by saying good-bye to my Nino and Aunt Diane as they headed to the airport to fly back home. At night, Robin and her boyfriend Pasqual came over. Robin brought my birthday cake she made for me, we went out to eat and then played one of the new board games we got for Christmas.

Since I was cheated on my birthday, I celebrated again on Monday. My mom took Kelly and I to The Melting Pot for lunch. It was yummy and I ate way too much! Now it's back to the swing of things and getting ready for the nursery. My mom and I spent the day yesterday working on the office. Although we worked all day, I feel like I have so much still to do. Oh well, I better get off the couch and get back to it...
