Christmas 2010

This Christmas is one I will never forgot, not only was it Kinsey's 1st Christmas, but we have been trying to move, it's hard during the holidays, devoting time to packing and spending time with family.  It's been stressful but it's almost over, the moving part anyways, and Kinsey had a great first Christmas and that was SO important to me, and I am glad it worked out.

Christmas Eve 2010:
Christmas Eve in the Swift family is always spent at Tom's Grandpa's house, and of course in the middle of moving all day and trying to get ready, I forgot my camera and didn't get ANY pictures, but we had an awesome time as we always do, Kinsey got some really cute outfits, a few toys, and I got a really pretty purse with a wallet to match, and some beautiful earrings, and of course everyone was so happy to see Kinsey.  My wonderful husband came through on Christmas Eve and suprised me with a new Iphone for Christmas! Needless to say I was speechless, I couldn't believe he actually bought me one, I had accepted the fact that I was just going to have to wait to have a new phone, I am so proud of him!

The aftermath of Christmas Morning

My Browning Jacket from my husband

Christmas morning for us started out at 7:30am, we got up and let Kinsey play for a little bit, we waited on my mom and dad to get up before we opened gifts, then the chaos ensued! Kinsey got SO much stuff, she got clothes and toys galore! We also got presents from Nana, she sent them via Aunt Marcy since she was out of town for Christmas, I got two very nice cookbooks and the Eclipse DVD, Tom got two giftcards and we got a giftcard from Outback Steakhouse, which I am excited about! Tom also suprised me once more with a Browning Jacket!  I was so shocked!  Kinsey was wore out afterwards and fell asleep with no fights and slept for about an hour and a half.  Kinsey, Nini, and I hung out at the house most of the day yesterday and just laid around in our pjs, my mom went and got my grandma later in the afternoon, then me and Kinsey laid down and took a nap while mom and dad fixed Christmas supper, man that was some good eating! After dinner, Daddy, Kinsey and I went to Tom's dad and Stepmom's house for Christmas night, she got to see her Grandpa, Unlce Rusty and Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Justin, Grandma Lisa, Great Grandma Jo, and her cousins Kim and Thomas Keith, Tom's dad and Lisa hadn't seen her since she was born, so they couldn't believe how big she was, and they couldn't belived how GOOD she is! She never made a peep the whole time we were there, except when we got ready to leave, she was exhausted from her first Christmas!

Even though this Christmas was stressful and a little different, I am thankful that we all got to be together this Christmas.  I actually like waking up Christmas morning and being at my mom and dads, it was like being a little kid all over again.  I am very thankful to have my mom and dad this year, I am thankful for them every year, but this year I am even more thankful, because without them I don't know what we would do, I am so glad we all had a good Christmas!
