Christmas Eve:
0730: Sarah and Diane (MIL) head up to Gambrills, MD to pick up Chloe.
0900: Joey goes to work and Sarah gets home and realizes 2 Min Pins is twice as much work (duh)
1000: Sarah takes Chloe to the vet.
1100: Peyton shows up at the Gish house.
11:15: Sarah gets home with Chloe (who is fine!)
12:00: Joey gets home from work and cracks a beer with Peyton
12:30: Sarah's family arrives!
CRAZINESS ENSUES!!!!!!!!!!!
Kidding, kidding. We had a wonderful Christmas. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner on Christmas eve before my family and I headed to church and the boys stayed home to make sure Chloe was ok and not alone on her first night. Joey's family stopped by as well and we exchanged gifts with them before going to sleep so Santa could come!
Christmas morning we woke up and had delicious brunch and coffee.... I have a good story about the coffee for later...and opened our presents. I had alot of help but I managed to serve dinner only 45 minutes behind schedule!! We had a full on Christmas dinner including ham, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, salad, cranberry sauce, rolls and probably other stuff I forgot. And we had delicious pumpkin pie, apple cake, and Christmas cookies for dessert!! (and more coffee!)
We were given such generous gifts as SEVERAL Lowe's gift cards, a new grill, a new microwave that goes over the range, and a Keurig! OMG!
Here are a few pictures from Gishmas 2011. Enjoy!
