I started this post 3 days ago and am still not finished. A little girl has decided the only way to sleep in the day is laying on top of me... but she's asleep in her swing right now, so let's try this again!

We did Christmas with my family the weekend before Christmas, since my grandparents were going out of town over the holiday.

In the past, John Mark has been the only kid at Christmas. Boy, was that different this year! We had JM (5), Tanzi Rose (1), Lucy and Wyatt- both babies. It made for an interesting, busy, LOUD weekend, but it was so much fun.

We ate a big lunch and opened presents on Saturday afternoon. That evening we ate finger foods (my favorite meal!) and then played cards. It took us forever to play one game, thanks to diaper changes, feeding babies, etc. But so worth it.

Sunday we went to church, then ate lunch at Nanny's. Lucy slept through the whole service and was happy to be passed around to all of Bebe's friends. It was a beautiful weekend, filled with the family I love the most.

Christmas weekend was just the four of us. It was a little strange to be alone at home, but in the end I loved it. We baked sugar cookies, watched a couple of movies and opened Christmas eve gifts (PJ's and a movie for us to watch together). After JM went to bed, Micah and I filled their stockings. Stockings might be my favorite part of Christmas morning. It makes me smile.

Christmas morning I got up at 6 with Lucy, then got to work getting everything ready for the big morning. By 7:30, I had Christmas lights on, lunch prepped, and cinnamon rolls baking. I woke up Micah and JM, and we all gathered in the living room to have our Christmas. We opened presents, ate cinnamon rolls and got ready for church. Mom & Dad met us at church, then came home with us.

It was a great Christmas weekend. I'm so thankful for my wonderful life.

My face is the second pic, JM holding Lucy by the tree. That needs to be framed, pronto.
Also, now I want some cinnamon rolls.
