Holidays at WakeMed

Sure didn't plan on celebrating Christmas and New Years at WakeMed, but we made the best of our situation.

Eric brought our table-top, fiberoptic Christmas tree to the room. We do have a giant tree but ti's in storage and too big for our house, so we use the fiberoptic one, which is great because it was easy to move into the room.

Eric's mom and a few other friends brought Christmas decor too, so we had a pretty festive room.

For Christmas Eve, Eric's parents came over and we did our gift exchange.

Eric got me a Pandora Bracelet and an acorn charm to commemorate how we met in Raleigh (the city of Oaks). I'm super excited about this as I'd been hinting for it for a while, and can't wait to add to it!

I got him a battery, remote control, and battery grip for the big camera, figuring we'll be using this a ton in 2010. I also got him a video game for his PS3 and the book The Dangerous Book for Boys so that he can read up on things to teach Tyler. :)

His parents got me the Clip it Up for scrapbooking, a nightshirt, and a bookmark. they got him some needed accessories for the PS3. We got them a CD, a book, and a white noise machine.

Eric's parents and brother and family all came up on Christmas day and brought us Christmas dinner too.

His brother's family got me a charm for my bracelet (YAY!), and got him 2 games for his PS3. We got Adam accessories for his Xbox 360, and got Amy a Memory Foam pillow. The kids got toys from us (video game, bionicle, and Moxie girl).

My parents had already sent us money for Christmas which we used to buy the crib (with a 20% off coupon at BRU). Eric got the crib put together and from the pix he took it looks great.

All in all a good Christmas!

New Years Eve was fairly uneventful, although we stayed up to see midnight. Next year we're gonna have to celebrate big to make up for it. We were happy to be celebrating 2010 still being pregnant! :)
