It came and went quickly as always. I wish I could have put a slow motion button on it. My most favorite time of the year.. ... It was wonderful and I cherish the time spent with family.
We went to afternoon Mass on Christmas Eve with all of the kids and it was standing room only. We came home and had a houseful of family for a big Christmas dinner. All of the food turned out great and we all enjoyed being together. We exchanged gifts afterwards and had mountains of wrapping paper and many happy little girls running around. Later after everyone left and the little girls were in bed I sat outside with Erin and Lee and enjoyed a glass of wine and a fire in the chiminea to warm up a beautiful chilly night. Erin stayed up late with me and helped with last minute details. I finally got to bed around 2am watching "Meet Me in St. Louis". The girls woke up early the next morning to see what Santa brought them. We opened more presents and had breakfast. All of the kids big and little enjoyed playing with all of the new toys and games. Lee and Erin left a little after noon for his family Christmas in Natchez. Caroline left to visit friends. The girls entertained themselves with all of their new loot the rest of the afternoon and I enjoyed just being home with a nice fire in the fireplace all day. Glen got tickets for everyone to go to the Spirit of Christmas show at the Beau Rivage and we met Casey and the kids and his mom and sisters there. It was a perfect end to a great Christmas.
