Wordful Wednesday - Christmas

Wow, this year has flew by fast!  It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone.  For the first time in a long time, we didn't have any snow.  Me and snow aren't friends so I can't say I missed it, but it didn't seem much like the holidays without it. 

December 23rd is when my children got to open their gifts from us.  Between seven kids, four adults, one dog, and a ton of presents, the house was pretty packed. 

Christmas Eve morning was modern warfare with Nerf guns in the kitchen.  Shelby was the main target. 

Christmas Eve we had dinner at my sister's house.  The spread of food was enough to almost put me in a coma.  Oh, and make me gain five pounds!

We exchanged more gifts at my sister's house. 
Step-daughters, Allyson and Juliann

Daughter, Shelby

Great-niece, Ayala, says it all with her tongue sticking out!

I received lots of wonderful gifts.  Some included a microfiber plush blanket, Tassimo coffee, pajamas, Water for Elephants book, metal wall clock, photo collage frame, and more.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!

Sounds like you guys had a great day. It actually did snow here for about 15 minutes LOL. It came down hard, left us a dusting, stopped and melted. Not exactly a white Christmas, but I'm ok with that. After having to host dinner & clean up the mess, the last thing I wanted to do was go out & shovel.
