I know, I know you can't believe it........I'm FINALLY updating my blog. It would be so much easier if I would just do an update weekly but........that's probably never going to happen so......I'll just try to do it more than once a month.

I'm starting with Christmas and then I'll go from there. First of all, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We did. Times have been tough for everyone which totally sucks but, it ended up being a good thing for Christmas. We get so caught up in what we are going to give people that I think it's easy to forget about what Christmas really is. This year, noone had money to worry about gifts so we were forced to remember that we were celebrating the birth of Christ. It was a time that we were really able to teach Kendi that some people don't have money to buy their kids Christmas presents so we were able to give some money to a family in her class and she was told that she would get only a couple presents. She was so happy to help other kids. I am always so impressed by Kendi's ability to really think about others and want to help them.

Christmas Eve is the day we get together with my family at my parents house. This has always been our tradition. We hang out and then have clam chowder for dinner. Since we've added more in-laws to the family, we have also added chili to the tradition since clam chowder is not a favorite among everyone. Here are some pictures of that night.

I always enjoy hanging out with my family. I am blessed to have siblings that are not only my siblings but are some of my best friends and some of the coolest people I know. And, they all make really cute babies.

CHRISTMAS day is a lounge day. Since we all hang out on Christmas Eve, everyone hangs with with the in-laws on Christmas day. We basically chill in our PJ's all day, which I know is no different than any other day at my house. After opening presents in the morning, we went and made biscuits and gravy at mom's house. We watched The Tales of Desperoux in the afternoon and then Ed and I always go to my brother-in-law Cody's, Aunts house and play games. I love Christmas. Very unstressful. Here are some pictures of Christmas morning.

And now, my favorites:(even though they are in the opposite order as I would like them but for some reason, when I try to edit the post, I don't see any pictures, only words and symbols so I can't move the pictures around. But I think the pictures speak for themselves.....
