Long, Nice Weekend

This weekend seemed long but it was so nice.  And I think I'm finally getting into the holiday spirit!  Mostly I can't wait for Christmas morning with Lauryn.  Last year she was only a month and a half old so she was all about sleeping through it all :)  This year I can't wait to sit with her and open the presents from Santa...and of course, the special ones from Mama and Dada :)

Friday, in the early afternoon, we had to take Lauryn to the doctor for her one year check-up and shots.  The check-up went very well.  Lauryn is growing good and is very healthy.  The shots didn't go so well at all.  My poor girl had to get five of them this time and she definitely gave those nurses a run for their money.  She sure has some strong legs!  By the time we were leaving the room she was fine but while I was getting her clothes and shoes back on, she was crying so hard.  It just breaks my heart and her daddy wants to knock the nurses out :P  He knows they are doing their job but he hates to see anyone make her cry.  A little while after we got home, mom came over and since she didn't end up having to work on Saturday after all, she stayed for dinner.  Kathye came over for a while and it was nice visiting.  Poor Lauryn wasn't quite herself though :(

On Saturday, we celebrated Christmas with Lloyd's parents.  Since we have the big family party on Christmas day, we decided to do ours a little earlier so we'd have more time to hang out.  We all got some really nice things and I think his parents liked their gifts a lot too.  I think my most favorite gift is the camera Lloyd got me :)  I'm a spoiled girl!  I've been wanting one for a long time and when I need one, I have to remind him to bring his home from work.  So now I don't have to wait for that, I can take pics and videos whenever :)  I've already taken a bunch and I have a couple videos of Lauryn walking.  I still have to get them downloaded but I'll get them posted soon :)

Today wasn't so busy but we all just felt really tired.  Lauryn is still not feeling well from the shots and she's been getting up a lot during the night so we all were a little lazy today.  Only a few more days til I get to see my punkin' opening her presents!  I can't wait!
