Merry Christmas

Arabella woke up Christmas morning more excited than I can remember in a long time. She was sure that Santa came to visit at Gramdpa Dennis' and she was right. After a little bit of confusion, she found her stocking and presents that he left for her and her cousins. She was the only one awake...her cousins made their way downstairs after she had opened all her gifts and she was already playing with them. She loved each one and had fun opening her stocking too! I loved seeing the look on her face when she opened something that she had asked Santa for...it was priceless!




Santa and family were very good to her...she is one lucky little girl! After opening Santa's gifts, she opened a few more from family and was very excited to get more owl pj's and a special ornament.


The rest of the day was pretty low key. We had another delicious meal and spent time enjoying the day and our family.



It was hard for me to be away from my side of the family. It makes me realize just how much I love and appreciate the traditions we have and the time we spend together. Family is so very important to me and I miss them when I am not with them on the holidays. We are blessed to be so close and I am thankful for them every day. I hope that this Christmas brought everyone what they desired most. Merry Christmas.
