We had a good Christmas this year and it's been fun to think about how different next Christmas will be. Baby Brueckmann already got a little taste of Christmas though (no, I don't mean all the food I ate yesterday) - as he received a few Christmas gifts.
One notable gift is his first Cardinals shirt - I knew it wouldn't take long for us to receive that -- but I didn't expect it to have so much attitude. :) He also received an outfit, an afghan made by Grandma Lesinger, and a quilt made by Great Grandma Nagel many years ago.
We have a week off until we return to work on January 4 and it looks like it will be a busy week. Our Christmas continues with a trip to Indianapolis in the morning. We'll try not to be jealous when all the Emsleys are sporting their Jamaican tans! Other plans this week include catching up with friends from out-of-town and registering at Babies 'R Us. Last week we finished the nursery and I'll eventually post pictures of that.
