Our Christmas

Our Christmas was definitely a different one this year for us. We spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family. My parents were down south visiting my mom's family because we recently found out that my Grandma (Nana) has cancer and is going through treatment right now. My parents wanted to be down there for her this Christmas. So that left just us girls. It was definitely weird without our parents there, but we know that is what the Lord had for this year and my parents needed to be there for my Nana. So we still had a blessed time getting together and playing games. Then Christmas morning Ben woke up with a fever:( We had a blessed time just with the boys remembering Jesus and opening gifts with them. I don't think anything beats being a kid on Christmas morning, but now being a parent and watching your kid's excitment opening all their presents is so much fun too. Then we headed to the Shrewsberry's in the afternoon for Christmas dinner. We had another blessed time with them as we spent time together. So now it's time to pack Christmas away and look forward to what this next year is going to bring...ahhhh!

Here are just a few pictures of Christmas day. I'm so disappointed in myself...I forgot our camera on Christmas Eve so was not able to get any pictures of our time with my sisters, oh well... "It's a pillow. It's a pet. It's a pillow pet!" Don't ask me what they see in these except that they are very soft and cuddly, but this was one of the things they both had to havePapa, Grammy & boysOur nephew Ethan with JakeThis was us by the end of the night. Poor Ben just wasn't feeling that great for ChristmasHope you all had a very blessed Christmas!
