Christmas seems to come up on me so fast and then in the blink of an eye its gone!!!
This Christmas was great! Minus the fact that Sissy, Josh, Carter and Coleman weren't here.
The festivities started the week before Christmas, Shane's moms side of the family had a get together with lots of yummy food and a game of dirty Santa which is always a good time! I ended up with travel coffee mugs!
The next festivity was Shane's dads side of the family! Which again involved lots of delicious food and Dirty Santa! This time I ended up with 2 NC. State tervis tumblers! (thanks Laurie hehe) there was a little more drama with this dirty santa, more stealing, which makes it fun!! :)
Then onto Christmas eve! I got off work at 3 and went straight to mom and dads! Its kind of tradition since I have moved out to spend the night with mom and dad on Christmas eve and thanksgiving! I enjoy it! Shane and his parents came over and bubby and tracey and bri. We had a bunch of snacky foods- stuffed mushrooms, sausage balls, 7 layer dip, velveeta/rotel dip, and yummy pastry desserts! We definitely had plenty to eat!! After eating it was off to Christmas eve service at church! Which I always enjoy, it is a tradition in our family to go to it! After church it was back home to hang out for a bit. Dad and I were watching tv and I fell asleep at 1030...way early! So I went up to bed so Santa could come visit! ;)
Christmas day I woke up and went into mom and dads room and woke them up! We did stockings together and then got ready for the day. Dad cooked some yummy breakfast sandwiches and then bubby and tracy came over. We watched Miracle on 34th Street then opened presents! For lunch we had lasagna-yummmmy!
After lunch I headed over to Shane's parents house for more presents!! They are so generous! We had a good time hanging out, chatting, opening presents, and WAITING FOR THE SNOW TO FALL!!! haha every 10 min or so we would open the door to see if anymore was falling! Because we knew it was going to be a big snow fall, Shane and I planned on staying out at Justin and Laurie's! And good thing we did, we got about 8 inches of snow and it was a blast playing outside in it, sledding behind the 4-wheelers, throwing snowballs, making snowmen! It was all around a great time!! First white Christmas since 1947--so cool!
So in all Christmas was awesome!! I am very blessed and I owe it all to my Savior!
I hope everyone else had an amazing Christmas as well! :)
