Best Christmas Gift Ever!

It's a Boy! Rob and I found out late Christmas morning. It was a very special time to be with the Hutchins Family this Christmas. We got up fairly late (7am) and had a yummy breakfast, which consisted of hot, steaming cinnamon rolls (homemade) and a wonderful strata (thanks to Martha Stewart's new cooking show). After we finished stuffing everyone's stockings, we sat around the fire and unstuffed each one. After we opened the gifts in our stockings, we had a Chinese gift exchange. Rob ended up with the best gift of all. He received the Garth Brooks CD collection. As soon as he saw Neely open the gift, he took the opportunity and stole it from her. Luckily, nobody else was gutsy enough to steal it from him. After the Chinese gift exchange, we geared up for the big revealing. Mom and Dad searched frantically for the camcorder, the battery to the camcorder, and a tape for the camcorder. As we waited patiently, the phone rang. Mary was on the other end to let us know she was back from her Christmas-Hot Air Balloon ride. So, everyone was ready! We gathered all of the working cell phones and called Rob's mom and Rob's dad and Mary (my big sister). When everyone was on the phone, Rob proceeded to open the envelope. In his excitement, he tore the envelope and the results. When he yelled out it was a boy, everyone screamed. The relatives on the other end were trying hard to decipher whether we had announced boy or girl. After mom finished jumping up and down and Haley could catch her breath, we all celebrated with pictures, hugs and kisses. It was an awesome experience. When we get back to Texas we will post the pictures that tell the story very well.
