Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of year! There just never seems to be enough time to pack everything in between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day! This year was our second year to get a real tree. I LOVE it! I just wish that I had had enough time to get the bow tied to go on top. Here's a picture of our tree and presents and our Christmas card picture.



We started Christmas on Christmas Eve at my parent's house. Clint, Adrian, and Jackson came over to open presents and eat supper. We got Jackson a John Deere pillow and mulch ripper. That boy LOVES some John Deere!

Christmas Eve night, we drove over to Culllman to have Christmas with Patrick's family and then go to Midnight Mass. Addie didn't make it long! After we opened presents, Jerry read "Twas the Night Before Christmas." It was amazing that even though it seemed like it had been awhile since I heard it, I could still recite it word for word! By the way, Kelly and Andrew got me photoshop and a book on how to take great pictures with my Canon camera. I am super excited to learn how to use photoshop and tricks and techniques for great pictures!

After going to bed at 3:00 am...yes, am...we headed to Albertville to have Christmas morning breakfast with my mom's family. Phillip's family was missing because they were moving Katy back to Alabama! We missed them a lot! But, it was the first white Christmas that I could remember in a LONG time! It was beautiful! But, we were not prepared. All I had was a fleece jacket! I need to learn to pay better attention to the weather forecast!

It was so good to have Luke home at Christmas time! Maybe we will all be there together next year.

Peyton and Addie had a great time playing in the snow! They loved it just as much as their Momma!
