Merry Christmas!!

This year, I had a FANTASTIC Christmas! Definitely, one of the best by far! It all started with the very famous and traditional Christmas Eve at Gramma Ruth's. This is one of my favorite traditions! It's pretty basic really, just EVERYONE and food. I sort of love it. This year, the family decided to pick names and it was a hit! I think that this might be a new tradition in the making! One of my favorite sights of the night every year is looking down after all the presents are open and just feeling the love.

The next day started out pretty relaxed. We slept in, ate and such. Later on, I picked up Carmen, Matt, and David! Oh my, I was ecstatic! I have not seen my sister in about 3 years and I have never met my nephew! It was a big deal! haha I took them over to my other sister's for a little Christmas party which was a blast. The kids played, everyone caught up, we ate food. Oh, and Kelly announced that she is PREGNANT!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! The whole week after that was filled with a lot of trips and get-togethers. We went to the Dinosaur museum, saw the Hobbit, went out to lunch, etc. I loved having so much of my family in one place at one time, and if you know us, the entire family only gets together for a wedding! I hope that your Christmas was as fantastic as mine!
