Christmas


















Christmas has always been my favorite holiday!! The music, the festivities, the Christmas outfits, the laughter, family, friends...We had another wonderful Christmas. Christmas Eve began at 4:00 mass. It is so special to come together as a church community to pray. Then we were off to my brother's house for soup, bread, Christmas cookies and off course new pajamas from Papa and Grandma, a family tradition that all the kids look forward to. They couldn't wait to get their pajamas on.The girls were up bright and early, 6:15 a.m. The fire was roaring and presents were sprawled underneath the tree! These two little ladies received many presents. Meilin was so slow opening her gifts. She kept saying, "One second!" In fact she opened her last gift at 11:30 a.m. Kailei tore through hers quickly and it was driving her crazy that Meilin wasn't opening hers. We departed for Grandma and Papa's house around 12. We all took naps and awoke to Trevor and his family arriving. The afternoon was filled with opening more presents and eating a delicious dinner. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family. I love them all with all my heart. The best gift of the season is being together with family. In a few days we will celebrate Meilin's third birthday. Ohhh, my baby is going to be 3 already!
