Christmas Eve in Sturgis

We started the Christmas festivities by having brunch with Brian's family in Sturgis. Brian had to work until noon, so Macie and I met him there. Macie was quite a handful all morning and she didn't fall asleep until we were almost to Brian's parents' house. I was worried she would be a complete grouch, but everything ended up working out. Right before we ate, we laid Macie down for a nap and she slept through us eating and opening our presents. She woke up as we were finishing so she was able to open all of her gifts. She had the biggest pile by far! I knew this year would be fun and exciting, but I had no idea how into opening gifts she would really be! She would open each gift and then shake with excitement. Brian and I were both pumped about our gifts. I got a lot of scrapbooking stuff and Brian got a lot of clothes. The biggest surprise was that Katie and Josh made us corn hole boards with our name on it. They made one for Beth and Wil too...we were all shocked! Gavin even had a stocking and some presents and he isn't even here yet!
