Doug and I ended up going to sleep around 2:30 am on Christmas Eve morning. Since this was the first time that I had ever stayed over the apartment, I had no idea what Doug’s bed was going to be like. He assured me that it would be fine and by the time we were finally in bed, I was so tired that I didn’t even care. We woke up around 9:00 am and I felt AWFUL! My entire body was sore and my back felt like somebody had kicked it completely in. His bad was terrible!!! The middle sunk down and with just one person it was fine. When you add two people, one person sleeps on a slant without support to your middle back.
Well, the first thing I was determined to do was to find a new bed!!! We also needed to do a bit of Christmas shopping since we did not do ANYTHING before the wedding. We shopped around at several different places and tried out numerous beds. We finally found a bed that we both loved, and since I did not want to spend more nights in Doug’s bed than I needed to, we bought it. It is a king size bed that is called Kingsdown. It is AMAZING. You kind of sink into it like you would down feathers…just with a little more support.
Doug and I did a little Christmas shopping and then headed up to my Dad’s for the Phillips Christmas.
It was really cool going to sleep on Christmas Eve and knowing that this was our very first Christmas together as husband and wife. Christmas morning was even more exciting! We woke up (pretty achy again, unfortunately) and headed over to Doug’s parents for the Shade’s celebration. Most years, we were not able to stay as long because of getting ready and wrapping presents… This year, we were able to spend a good amount of time with Doug’s family, including his dear grandparents.
Our final destination for our Christmas celebrations was my Aunt’s house in Valley Forge. The Baker’s Christmas always provides a lot of good food, love and A LOT of noise! My Aunt has two little children, ages three and one. It’s always fun to see them open presents and watch how excited they get over the holidays. It makes it that much more special!
Doug and I spent Christmas night at our home and felt so lucky that we were finally spending it together! What a magical past three weeks! They flew by but I would not trade them for anything!!!!
