Christmas and Rebecca Rose Triche

I am finally getting around to posting about Christmas! We spent our "First Married Christmas" at my Mom's house on the Lake! Me, Matt, Chip and Cara spent the night at Mom's on Christmas Eve and then Nickel, Russ and the girls came on Christmas Day afternoon. We  didn't get to Mom's until after lunch from New Orleans so I enjoyed being out of the car and spending some time with Holland and Garrett (They just got engaged before coming home for Christmas!) while Matt had to run to Auburn to pick up some last minute Christmas gifts (Mine!). We went to Christmas Eve Service at church and then headed back home to eat dinner. Uncle Bill, Aunt Suzy, Cristin, Judy, and Dennis joined us for shrimp, salmon, salad, and good desserts! We enjoyed the fellowship and getting to listen to Uncle Bill call the girls and pretend to be Santa and then Dennis call Robert (Clay and Leigh Ann's oldest son) and pretend to be Santa! We also got to browse all of our wedding photos! Once we cleaned the kitchen Mom and I set out to stuff stockings and put Santa out! It was so exciting to put Santa out for my HUSBAND! :) Santa brought Matt a grill, pj pants, a helicopter and a new Carhartt jacket. He also had a bunch of stuff in his stocking! Santa did way too much for me this year! I was obviously a VERY good girl! I got a new Pandora bead, a Coach Purse, pjs, Apples to Apples board game, a white puffy vest and a Thirty-One lunch bag with my new initials!

Mom's Christmas Tree-She had a "wedding" tree this year!

If you were at our wedding you probably recognize all of these decorations!

Our Stockings and Santa!

Santa again!

Matt's gift from Santa! As a child my parents would tie outside gifts from Santa to the tree and you would have to follow the string to find out what you got-So I made Matt follow a string to find his gift!

Christmas Morning!

My new Pandora "Ring Pillow" charm!

Santa was G-O-O-D to ME!

We (the adults) did not do presents for each other because we are going to work on Mom's dock, so we just got the girls gifts! Matt and I gave Carley and Scarlett digital cameras for their trip to Disney and Lawson a Baby Princess doll! Chip and Cara got them new princess and Hello Kitty slippers! Lawson loved hers! It was so nice to just enjoy a quiet Christmas with our family! On Sunday we skipped church and headed to Mark and Lydia's to have Christmas with them! We have done Christmas with them since we have known them! They are basically 2 more brothers and 2 more sisters for me, Chip, and Nickel. It was fun to hangout and play with all of their new goodies! 

Yeah for gifts!

Introducing Rebecca Rose Triche!

Matt's sister and brother in law, Melanie and Nathan, welcomed our fourth niece into the world on December 30th around 7am! She weighed 7lbs 6oz. and was 20 in long. Matt always said he wanted to have an actually niece before getting them by marriage, but Rebecca waited until almost 2011 to make her appearance! We hope to visit North Carolina during MLK weekend and I can't wait to get my hands on that precious angel! Maybe some day in the future there will be a nephew for us?!

Cute little face!

Matt says she looks like him...Such a silly uncle!

I LOVE this houndstooth car seat! She is so precious!

Rebecca we can't wait to meet you! Uncle Matt and Aunt Mollie already love you and we will see you soon! We hope your Christmas and New Year were as blessed as ours was!
