Beau's First Christmas!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! As you can imagine, we had the best Christmas yet! God Blessed us with a beautiful little boy this year! The best Christmas gift of all!

We got all of our Christmas shopping done last week and went out for dinner. Beau was a good baby for Gramma Richardson while she was babysitting. We didn't make it to a movie- I couldn't stand to be away that long!!

We enjoyed Christmas Eve with the Richardson side. We did our annual fonduing at Chuck's mom's house and opened gifts there. After that we headed over to Carol's house and opened more gifts and ate some more. Beau was spoiled with lots of love and gifts from everyone! The festivities stared around 3 and ended at 10!! By the end of the night we were all tired, but had a great time with everyone!

On Christmas day my parents come to our house and so we ate some more and opened gifts...beginning to see a pattern! :) (Love this time of year!) Mom and I enjoyed a scapping extravaganza on Friday while Dad and Chucker did their own thing. I think we scrapped for about 10 hours! I couldn't believe it! I got a lot done in Beau's book and mom got a jump start on some Beau pages for her book. Dad and Chucker ran into Rapids to pick up my Christmas gift from Chuck...an 8ft table for my scrapping room! I never would have guessed that Chuck would have gotten that for me- I guess he knows me all too well! I've wanted a table for so long! They brought it home and set it up and it wasn't too much longer that I was down there setting up shop :)

Sunday was a lazy day for me...Chuck went fishing with our brother in law Dan. He said the fish are really biting right now so they caught their limit and a nice size northern. I think he plans on getting a lot of fishing time in this week since he'll have his hands full for quite a while...

Only one more week and I'm off to work again. These last 6 weeks have flown by so fast...too fast! It's been the best time of my life and it's going to be very hard for me to go back. I woke up bright and early today so that I can get myself back into the swing of things of getting up early. Right now my schedule now consists of getting up, sitting on the couch with beau, watching TV, scrapping, eating, poking chuck (hehe) etc.

Have a great week everyone and Happy New Year!
