Christmas fun

We did things a little different this year..actually, alot different.  I have had a hard time feeling the Christmas spirit because it has been such an eventful year.  We bought a house and adopted a dog.  This of course is the good stuff.  Grandma died and my husband got laid off from work.  So this has been a rough holiday.  To make matters worse, Christmas Eve is my birthday and I was sad alllll day.  I decided we needed to go to church, that might lift my spirits.  And guess what??? It did!!  It was awesome.  I gave all of my sadness and worries to God.  So we went on to have an incredible Christmas Eve night with my husbands family.  We opened all of our presents except Santa which we got first thing Christmas morning.  Santa brought a full size drum set for Cade (8) and a guitar and amp for Cameron (11).  Then we had a huge Christmas breakfast with my side of the family.  We decided we didn’t want to do a large Christmas dinner this year so we skipped lunch and ate at 59 dinner for dinner before watching the movie Bedtime Stories.  It was so different from our normal exhausting, food filled and running around like crazy Christmas.  It was just what we needed!  Here are some pics…
