I love Christmas time. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday, but I love the reason we celebrate Christmas. This Christmas was extra special. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I'm not gonna question it.
My family always gets together Christmas morning for a delicious breakfast at my Grandma's house. Then, my mom cooks a wonderful Christmas dinner. I always eat way too much, but it's worth it! This year, I started my Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve with my love's family. We went to his sister's house where we participated in Nerf gun fights with his nephews. Guns and bullets provided by me, which they opened as soon as we walked in the door. Later we ate good food and I watched my love and his twin play Madden 13 on the PS3. When I got home, I loved seeing my mom so giddy about wrapping presents. I haven't seen her that excited in a while. She was ready for us to open presents the next morning. She was so happy, which made me happy. I believe she had the best Christmas she's had in a while. She talked about how much fun she had shopping for everybody, and that made me so happy. She blessed us with so many gifts. Her and my dad work so hard to give my brothers and I things we need and want. They don't do near enough for themselves. I can't wait for the day that I can repay them, and I feel like that day is getting closer!
After we open presents at our house, we get ready to go next door to my Grandma's. My cousin came this year from Tenneessee, and I loved seeing them. We ate, and talked for hours. I loved seeing everyone, and watching the babies crawl around looking at everything going on. They are starting to get into the curious stage. When everyone left, I cleaned our gift mess and mom started on our Christmas dinner. This year my love came and ate with us. He and Chad played Xbox until time to eat. Then, he watched us play Disney Headbands. I bought that game for him, and as much as we've watched Disney movies, that game is pretty tough. We still had fun.
I really need to do a picture dump. Hopefully I'll have time for that soon. So much has happened that I want to record, but it needs a whole new post in itself. I'll record what gifts I was blessed with and thankful for.
