My Family

We ended up having such a nice morning on Saturday; it was great to hang out, open presents & enjoy the breakfast I made. Granted, I ended up breaking my back cleaning the rest of the afternoon, after sending Mike & Cam out of the house, but it was worth it. I wanted to make sure I got some deep cleaning done before heading to Chicago for a week & a half. Plus, I had to prepare for the arrival of my family later that day.

After lots of munching on appetizers, we opened presents & enjoyed some homemade pizza that Mike made. I will be very sad to be away from my family this Christmas, but thankful that we'll get to see Mike's family, some of my aunts, uncles & cousins & all of our friends.

P.S -- Mike ended up getting me an IPod Touch for Christmas! I was so thrilled that I literally jumped up & down!
