Tricia cut the pecans for the monkey bread we had on Christmas morning. She's very particular about how she likes her nuts!
Christmas Morning:
We had to split the gifts into two piles. Gifts that were labeled and those that weren't. Both sides of the family had most of their gifts sent from Amazon and they were all addressed to both Damien & me. We didn't know what was in the boxes or who they were for until we opened them. Thus we took turns opening the unlabeled boxes and deciphering whose gift they were. It was fun.
Rita & Tricia got this little onesie for the baby when they were in Little Italy.
My mom got these adorable little tops and leggings for the baby. Baby is going to look adorable!
Our good friends gave us this family heirloom sweater for the baby. It's hand knitted and beautiful!
The Week After Christmas:
We met up with some of Tricia's family at a Turkish restaurant we had never tried. It was a bit tight trying to sit on the floor and eat considering the baby bump is in the way. I managed quite well though!
Dane flew out to meet his girlfriend's family here in Georgia. We got to spend the day with him and Lindsey. We started out by having lunch at our favorite Italian-style pizza place, Antico Napoletana Pizza. It was delicious as usual!
Then we met up with Damien's Uncle Erik, Aunt Minhee, and cousins Spencer and Ella, to visit the World of Coke. (Damien's uncle is the brand manager for Diet Coke so he got us a sweet deal!)

Then we got to taste different Coke beverages from around the world. I would say the most memorable was the Beverly. This drink is supposedly popular in Italy. It tasted horrible. Just like the ointment dentists use to numb your gums before they give you shots. Blah. I think the kid in the forefront of this picture must have just tasted it!

We had a great Christmas break! The baby made out like a bandit with gifts and she's not even born! Damien is still trying to adjust to the baby getting more gifts than him. It may take a few years though!
