Let it be Christmas!

Christmas could not be anymore exciting this year! I was not prepared for Grier to arrive before Christmas, but grateful that she did because it was the perfect time for us to be able to go to Manchester for Grier to meet her cousins and uncles and she was even able to meet Santa Claus! We arrived in Manchester Friday evening and had dinner with our family. Christmas eve morning we were up bright and early so tori could take Grier's newborn pictures. It was a first for me, I was pooped on, tee-teed on, and spit up on, but we got some good pictures! That night Grier made her first appearance to church and did great. We enjoyed the sermon and candle light singing, it really helps you remember what Christmas is about. After church we had family dinner at my mom's and opened gifts. Santa stopped by before beginning to make his rounds. Santa must have remembered Grier was at Nan's house because all of her gifts were there Christmas morning! After that we headed to Claxton for Christmas with Joe's side of the family. We had a late lunch, visited, then headed home to relax!! We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas!!

Blogger confession

Wow! Has it really been 3 months since my last post?!? We've been extremely busy here at the Gill house and I guess time slipped away from me! Well, not only that, but now that I have a little munchin' my spare time, while Grier is napping, is spent doing laundry, cooking dinner, keeping the house clean and the list goes on. Parenthood is wonderful but takes a lot of adjusting. Joe and I are still learning to adjust, but it is oh so worth it!! I can't put all of the blame on not blogging on being a new mother; my other excuse is I've yet to figure out technology. Joe and I got a new camera for Christmas so most of our pictures are on it and you guessed it I've yet to download them to the computer and I've yet to figure out how to upload my phone pictures to the blog...for all of you loyal readers blogging is on my list of things to do in the next few weeks so hopefully I will get caught up and stay that way!
