Mr. (W)Right in Training: Part One

Here is part one of our week at Nana's.

Nolan and I arrived in Levelland on Monday, around 4pm. The ride up wasn't too bad, until 2pm, when he had had enough of his car seat...tears, tears, and more tears! Anyway, he finally fell back to sleep and then we arrived at mom's (yea!). Once we got there, not much happened...he went straight to Nana and was loved on by his cousins. I think the funniest part of the evening was when dad came home and said hi to baby Nolan and not his baby Lauryn...the look on her face was priceless! It was a good day, and we were happy to be out of the car!

Tuesday was another laid back day. We woke up, got ready, and just hung out at mom's all day. V and Monica came home from work, so Nolan spent time with both of them. Lexi and Lauryn entertained us as usual, and then dad came home. Brady called me to tell me that the company gave them the day off tomorrow, after all, so he'll be coming in sooner (yea!) Later that night, Monica, V and I went to Wal-Mart (one of many trips). I did some last minute shopping for Brady (and still forgot some stuff!). We got home and that was the end of that day.

Finally, Christmas Eve. We woke up and got ready again, and then V and I went to Wal-Mart one more time...still some last minute shopping, and I finally invested in a belt! Monica, Lexi and Lauryn showed back up that afternoon and the girls showed us what all they got from their mommy and daddy...new Ipods=Best. Christmas. Ever! V and Monica spent the rest of their afternoon in the kitchen making some goodies, and then Brady arrived! He and Nolan then took a nap until it was time to go to Aunt Susie's for Christmas dinner and presents. We arrived and after everyone got a chance to hold and kiss Nolan, we had supper...tamales, tamales, and more tamales! Yum-o! When it came time to open presents, Nolan got hungry, so I opened them all for him and took pics of the rest of the family.

We made $20 from Aunt Mo, alone, with this shirt!

(it says: $5 for the first kiss, $2 each additional kiss; taxes may apply)

He liked his bear, even though he wasn't sure what it was.

We then cleaned up, loaded all of Nolan's goodies and went back to mom and dad's so they could get ready for church, I could get a tired baby ready for bed, and then we could all wait up for mom, dad, Monica and Lexi to get back from church to open up more gifts. Church started at 11pm and didn't let out til 12:15, so around that time, Lauryn was getting sleepy, so she and I then decided to seperate the gifts for everyone. Nolan, Lauryn and Lexi, of course, had the most...I had the least. No big deal, I got to open Nolan's!
