A Christmas We Will Never Forget!

Wow! What a busy Holiday for our family! I cannot believe Christmas has already come and gone by so fast! It was such a fun filled Holiday, most of all it was so fun watching Buster tear open his presents!

Our Holiday started out at TJ's parents on Christmas Eve. It is just chaos with all the grandkids running around and we wouldn't have it any other way! Each grandkid gets pajamas from their Grandpa and Grandma and their presents! Buster was really spoiled he opened new clothes and an awesome new toy, it's a hippo that bounces plastic balls and plays music! Buster loves it!

Next, we headed over to my parents to get dessert with my family! When we arrived we found out we missed out on the BIG surprise at dinner! My sister Madison is pregnant with baby number 2! (So excited!) She is due on June 15th and they do not know what they are having yet! Congrats!!! 

After the family left we had a little gingerbread house contest! We put Buster down to bed at my parents and the competition was on! TJ and I were on a team against my Mom and Dad, and then my sister Hadley and brother Bradley were the 3rd team! Of course TJ and I were the winners!

The next morning we woke up and did presents with our family. We headed to my parents at 9 am to open presents with them! We open our last gift all together and in the box we see a beach ball, towels, flip flops, and a piece of paper that reads... 

Hintze Family International Vacation

June 6-13, 2012

Barbados, West Indies

Included on the front is a beautiful picture of a tennis court on the beach and the 2 pictures below!

We all immediately start screaming with excitement! Our family has talked about going to Barbados for probably 10 years! The excitement was short lived, however, when we look at Madison and she is crying and repeating over and over I have ruined Christmas! We quickly realize her news from the night before and her due date is June 15th! We however will reschedule but the date is unknown at the moment! We are so excited, I can't wait to play some tennis on the beach!

Next, we went into my Grandpa and Grandma Maxfield's house for a quick visit before we went to TJ's parents at 2pm! While I was feeding Buster at dinner I felt a little tooth sticking out... his first tooth came in on Christmas. We were shocked because he has not been fussy at all, we had no idea he was even close to getting a tooth!

And finally to top things off, my sister Hadley got engaged!!!! I told you it was a Christmas we will never forget! Here is her beautiful ring... 

I am so happy for Cam and Hads! Congrats, we love you! It was such a great Christmas, we are so blessed to have such a great family and especially to have such a sweet baby boy! Here are a few more pictures from the big day!
