Merry Christmas!

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, even though it may be the most hectic since getting married. Juggling families is never an easy task. Unfortunately, we were both sick this year, which made the Holidays a little less happy than they usually are.

Mike and I started a new "tradition" this year by hosting Christmas Eve dinner at our home, which included me cooking a 22lb turkey! Other than it taking an hour longer to cook than I predicted, everything came out delicious. Christmas day started by opening presents with dad, then with Mike's family. After coming home and getting a little rest, we were off again. First to my aunt and uncles, then to his. At about 8:30, the cold and the pregnancy got the best of me and I was done. We've never called it a night that early, but made an exception this year.

I cant help but think of what Christmas will be like next year with Ashlynn. She already has Christmas pj's that her grandma Cindy bought for her. Just one more year...
