Christmas ~ one of my most favorite holidays EVER. I love the magic that is lit up inside of my children, I love teaching them about Jesus and everything that he has done and will do for us. I love being together as a family and being thankful for the blessings in our life.

Christmas is my most favorite time of year.  Especially when I can get pictures like this…..

We had our typical Christmas, wake up and run downstairs to see what Santa has brought, and then head up to my grandparent’s for a delicious meal and time with my dad’s side of the family.

Just a week before Christmas my grandmother {father’s mother} had a mastectomy done sortof on the down low. They really wanted to keep it hush hush and somebody leaked it on Facebook and I found out. She was her normal self at Christmas and is doing amazingly well for the major surgery she just went through.

I live about a mile away from my grandparents and don’t go up to see them as much as I should. I love my grandparents and I HAVE to go up at LEAST once a month to visit with them. Especially since they are getting old.

And then we attempted to take a family picture since we don’t have one so I had my cousin try with my camera.  I still need to get some done so I can get them printed {faces will be blurry on a print} but here’s our family on Christmas up at my grandparent’s property.
