Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you! (sorry it's a few days late)  I hope it was a wonderful day for you all!
My hubs worked a graveyard shift Christmas Eve, so Santa was set to work alone! Though I think the Lindt Truffles made it worth it :) I struggled a little bit to get our little one to bed, but that is not irregular... it happens EVERY night! People wonder why I stay up so late, well this is why -11:30 is when she finally falls asleep!! 
   She was so cute Christmas morning though... she was really struggling opening her stocking presents (hubs Santa's elf wrapped them, used LOTS of tape!) and she kept saying, "Those Elf's wrapped these too good!" Well when she started unwrapping the gifts under the tree she said, "I know Santa wrapped these himself, because he made them easier for me to unwrap." (Santa didn't use a lot of tape) LOVE her! So lucky to have her!


         Leave it to Holidays to remind us what is truly important in our lives!

My Father in Law passed away exactly 3 months ago. It is a continual reminder whenever anyone close to us passes of how fragile our lives are and how precious our relationships need to be. (In case you were wondering, me and my lil fam are in the top right corner behind the wreath)

As a family we met at the cemetery on Christmas Eve to send Balloons to Heaven for Christmas. We surprised my Mother in Law with the headstone.. it was set the day before, and she had no idea. We cut it close! We were hoping that it would be in before Christmas... it wasn't looking good, but it happened after all. We love you and miss you!!!
