Christmas morning we got up around 7:30 and came downstairs, ate brkfst and then opened our stockings from each other and then our gifts from each other! I gave scott 2 sweaters and a book on Lost and he gave me a couple of journals, an island calender and a scrapbook magazine subscription! Yeah! At about 9:30 we headed home to Halifax- it was a very pretty drive.
When we arrived we went straight to nanny's house for a Christmas dinner with mom, nanny, dave, his mom Enid and son Nick. It was very entertaining! Then we opened all our gifts for each other. Mom and Dave and Nanny made a great dinner, by the way!!:)
Here's mom and dave happy about the tennis rackets we bought them! yeah!
Here's nanny opening the scrapbook I made for her over the past month or so. It's all about how important she and our relationship has been to me since I was born- a good gift for the lady who has everything! I was so excited to finally be able to give it to her!!:)
Here's Nanny reading thru the scrapbook for the first time.
The next day (boxing day) was great- it was like Christmas morning again but this time with Scott's parents (at their house), and scott's brother Graeme, wife Jenn, and Bradley (4), Luke (2) and Abby who was only 2 weeks old! We had a great time opening gifts together and taking pics of the boys and Abby:)

Mama and Papa Kohler got Bradley and Luke their first real bikes for Christmas- they were so thrilled! It was awesome to watch- the guys later took the boys out to the garage to try them out and Bradley was saying "This is just what I've always wanted, Nana!"- So cute:)

We had a wonderful holiday, and were able to visit my father twice, and see both my mom and Dave and then nanny once more as well before heading back home. We even got to see Devin and Lenore for a quick lunch at Micmac Mall, which was so nice! Now we're back in McAdam, cozy in our home. Thank the Lord for a safe journey and good weather for driving, and a great visit with everyone we were able to see!:)

Looks and sounds like a wonderful Christmas, Dee! I am so happy you had a great time-your last babyless Christmas! Abby sure looks good on both of you; I can't wait to see what your little bundle will be and look like:).
Love you,

Looks like a great Christmas! I haven't seen Abby at church yet, so your blog was my first look at her! What a cutie!
By the way, that first pic is really nice of you.
Happy New Year!
