Christmas #1

We started Christmas early this year and it was so much fun! My parents and brother got here Firday night and we woke up Saturday morning to open presents and eat a big breakfast (The menu I talked about a few posts earlier). The casseroles were SOOOO good. I knew you couldn't go wrong with Paula Deen!

This was the PralineFrench Toast Casserole. It was my favorite because it was the perfect amount of sweetness :)

This was Matt's favorite. It was the Breakfast Casserole.

We usually open one present on Christmas Eve (which is always PJs), but Matt was asleep by the time Mom got here! HA! You know it's bad when your parents stay up later than you do!!! Another tradition we had was to have Santa's presents out unwrapped. That was always the most fun for Lance and I growing up. This year Santa brought Matt a Tennessee sweater for Snuggles and a pair of the best slippers from Gap for me.

I could literally wear these all day everyday. They are lined with the softest material in the world and they keep my feet so warm. I don't even have to wear socks with them. We both also got clothes, me some much needed maternity clothes and Matt some clothes that actually fit him since he has lost so much weight! We also racked up on some As Seen on TV goodies. Matt got the Slap Chop and the Big City Slider. The Slap Chop didn't work as well as he had hoped, but we LOVE the Big City Slider. It would be perfect for parties. 1 lb of hamburger meat made 14 small burgers! They were about the size of Krystal burgers :) So cute! I got the Perfect Brownie. Let me tell ya.. It is everything I had hoped it would be! I am so anal when it comes to how things look when I serve them and these really do make perfect brownies! I also asked for some cookie cutters and Mom found a ton! I am set! One box included the alphabet, so I am hoping to make some C shaped cookies for the hospital when Connor gets here (I know, I know.. probably not going to work out where I get to make cookies beforehand!) Connor got some adorable clothes and we of course got to go see him in 3D. Hopefully I will get the pictures scanned into my computer soon to showcase our little man :) I had such a good time having my family at my house and can't wait to have Connor around next year!
