The Stockings are hung from the chimney with care . . .

I can't believe that tomorrow is the night before Christmas! This year it has been so hard for me to get into the Christmas Spirit. I am finally excited and it is almost over! I just let it all get to me, the hustle and bustle, the money, the stress. I will not do this to myself again! My parents arrived this evening around dinner time and my brother and sister get in any minute! I am so excited to have them here for Christmas (even if it did mean a little extra cleaning and preparation). It is important for family to be together for the Holidays. I just have to say that with all of the complaining that I have been doing over stress and sicknesses and everything else these past few weeks I wouldn't trade any of it! I am so blessed. I can't wait to enjoy my day tomorrow cooking and wrapping gifts. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

  1. Your kids are so cute in their festive hats! We are spending our first Christmas at home...no traveling with kids this year. (Which also means that if I want good Mexican food in Maryland, I have to make it myself) Merry Christmas :)

  2. Glad to see that Christmas went well with your family. Now I want to see the "family t-shirts" that were made, especially since James' t-shirt was a surprise. We want to know what it ended up saying. As always, fantastic photos on your blog.

  3. The picture of all the kids makes me miss the time when we were all little and Ben was the baby! :( I'm sure they will all look back on these great memories someday!
