Making History!

OK well I don't know if it is anything to put in the history books BUT.... My Christmas tree is already down. For anyone who really knows me it's a miracle that the the tree or anything Christmas related is put away before, oh I don't know, say, March. LOL. I came home from work this morning and Rich had already taken down everything and put it all away. God bless that man!!! He takes such good care of us and is sooooooo much help! I never have to ask for anything he just knows what we need and always takes care of it before we need it.
Any hootieville, Christmas was great in our house. And even though I was a little out of sorts about Christmas this year everything turned out perfect. So we had to do most everything on Christmas Eve because I had to work Christmas night. My bff Tash and her to beautiful babies shared in the festivities with us along with Rich. I can't tell you how happy it made to have my chosen family here and to be surrounded by love for the holidays. We had a fantastic ham dinner with all the fixin's. Then we all went to Christmas Eve service at our wonderful little church. Where the kids and I were asked to light the Christ's candle for the Advent service. We did open some of our presents on Christmas Eve as Tash's babies would not be joining us in the morning, as they would be going to their fathers. I think everyone was very happy with their gifts, except Bre. Although she did like what she got she also wanted a new cell phone but didn't get one. I think she and I are both coming to terms with the fact that she does not deserve to get everything she wants. All in all I am very pleased with the way things turned out. Here are a few, I mean a lot of my favorite pictures from Christmas. Peace and Love to everyone.
