Merry Christmas...

Okay, Okay, a little late I know. I'll spare you my excuses and just get on with it...
The holidays were great...we all had a wonderful time. We did ALOT of driving, but it was still surprisingly enjoyable!! I LOVE Christmas...and I love it even more since I have kids of my own. It's so much fun seeing Addie Grace get soooo excited about all of it. Making cookies for Santa, reading Twas the Night Before Christmas, writing her letter to Santa, getting her letter from Santa (thanks Gram!), Addie Grace's preschool Christmas program...it was all wonderful!! Too many fun things to mention them all!! She did get worn out with all of it some and was just tired and cranky at times, but I guess that's to be expected with a three year old. One night that we were at my parents, I came into the den and she was sitting and crying...not just being pouty...true sorrow. I asked, "Addie Grace...what's wrong??" She looked up at me with her lip quivering and said, "My holiday cheer is gone!!" and just sobbed!! It was so funny! She has a flair for drama (wonder where she gets that from??) Anyway, we survived it...she wanted to go and pray about it, so she went to our room and bowed her head and said, "Dear God, my holiday cheer is gone and my family is lost (her cousins weren't there). Amen". After a few hugs, she was okay! She cracks me up!! I never know what's going to come out of her mouth next!!
Anyway, it was all so much fun, and I must say that I'm a little sad it's over. I can't wait until next year for Sawyer to be tearing through everything!!!
Here are a few pictures...
