This Christmas Chris and I decided to stay in Denver and enjoy a white Christmas and each other. We know that next year we will be traveling with our wee one and so it was nice to enjoy an us Christmas.
On Christmas Eve we went to church, got sushi for dinner (no raw fish for me!), and watched Rent in front of the fire before bed. Santa showed up during the night and left us way too much stuff, but it was all wonderful! We spent the morning drinking homemade hot cocoa and stuffing our faces with breakfast casseroles. We spent the rest of the day watching movies, taking the pups on a walk and once again stuffing our faces with beef tenderloin, fix ahead mashed potatoes, salad and Sister Schubert rolls!
My favorite part of the day was announcing to Chris that we were having a little girl!!!! I had secretly gone to the doctor earlier in the week and gotten an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby. I then wrapped a sweet little dress and had him open it as the last present Christmas morning. It was such a wonderful present for me to watch his face light up as he discovered that he was going to be the daddy to a little girl.
Last year I surprised Chris with a trip to Nashville, TN to see Garth Brooks in concert. I picked Chris up from the Tampa Paycom office to head the airport and shot a quick little video of him seeing the concert tickets for the first time.
This year I filmed him opening the announcement present. Chris is honestly the best surprise getter ever and I love his reactions!
Here are a few more images from Christmas 2011:
