Christmas in Baltimore

The day after Christmas we headed to Baltimore to celebrate Christmas again with my side of the family. It was the first time we had ever had Christmas at Courtney's house and it was so much fun. I love celebrating the holidays in different locations though I really hope to be back in Bartow next Christmas-- there will always just be something about going home for Christmas that makes the celebration that much sweeter.

However, I LOVE Baltimore. Before getting pregnant and then having Carver I actually spent quite a lot of time up there with Court and Jules... I've really missed both the city and them these last couple of years. Lucky for me I got to have about 5 days there and it was blissful.

By the time we did presents in Baltimore Carver had really started to get the hang of things, he liked opening his presents and especially liked having the boxes of his packaged toys inside baby jail. They supplied no end of fun for him, he pushed them around, climbed on top to stand or sit, and all in all had a splendid time.

And, you know, getting presents myself is pretty fun too :) I won't list all of my fabulous things here so as not to appear spoiled at 30 years old, but everyone was incredibly generous and thoughtful and we were all thrilled. I'm especially excited about my new computer (from my parents)-- and I love love, the 4 pairs of shoes I left with also...ok, enough about me.
