Christmas is here!

I can't believe it....

I finished Christmas shopping a while ago, but for some reason, I find myself going back into the madness to get stupid things like tape, glue and groceries. We are staying in TN this year. Unfortunately, Blake only gets Christmas day off. I, on the other hand, got 5 days and have enjoyed every minute of it...even though it has mostly been alone time. I've got a lot of things done at the house that I've wanted to for a while.
We have already done the family Christmas with Blake's brother & sister-in-law...that was nice. I got a painting, jewelry box and a financial book that I've been wanting for a while. Blake got a video game and controller for his Mac. He hasn't been able to peel himself away from the TV at night. Blake is on a 2 week break from school and has savored each minute!
This Christmas we are going to be doing a lot of family-filled gatherings...tomorrow night we are the "designated" family to light the candle at the Christmas Eve Candlelite Service...so that should be nice.

Hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas! We love you all.
