Busy, Busy Christmas

Whew!...I was glad to get back to work.

We were busy all four days and we said we needed a vacation from our vacation. We also agreed that we were not going to travel that much next year.

Our first trip was Saturday to Cullman (Eva). Chris' cousin got married so we went and helped with Ashley and William. We didn't stay long due to them taking pictures and us wanting to get back home. Since William has taken up with his Uncle Chris, he wanted to go home with him. We really had to sneak out of the house.

Sunday we had Christmas at granny's. We first went to church with Joyce and Danny, then drove over to granny's house. Granny always has coffee going, so we bought her some nice coffee mugs. She got us a Trifle Bowl. So, now we have two of them. One she got us is currently holding all of our holiday candy and so I think I will make it our candy dish.

Monday we drove down to Ashland and had Christmas with my family. It is beginning to feel very different from what it used to be. I know we are all grown and have families of our own, but it is just not any where close to how it used to be. Most of the men were outside during gift time and it was more of a women talking ordeal. I wish we could have all been inside and just sat around for a small amount of time, but anyway...those that wanted to be there, were!

Tuesday we drove up to Cullman to have Christmas with Chris' mom and dad. Joyce always cooks a good breakfast! We all opened gifts and watched the kids open theirs. (The way it should be and not like my family). After gifts we celebrated Chris' birthday, by singing Happy Birthday to him and eating cake. He wanted a Red Velvet and Cream Cheese cake....it was good! The weather was yucky with rain, cold and fog. So driving home was not the best. I am really excited to use the gift card to Applebee's!
