It's nine o'clock on Christmas night and I'm sitting in bed exhausted, but content. Today was a day for family. We spent the morning opening gifts before traveling to my husband's family's for dinner and then over to my family's for a birthday. I absolutely LOVE Christmas, it's definitely my favorite holiday, but I always have a little sense of disappointment when it's all over. There's so much time and effort put into planning and preparation and then just like that, it's over. It was also sad to not have my oldest sister and her family here with us. I've been checking their photo site often for pictures and updates, but it's just not the same. I was really glad to see a couple of videos of the kids, it brings them a little closer to home. We all miss them terribly and hope Christmas was as happy in Africa as it was here. On the bright side we have something superfun to look forward too....the BEACH!!! Only about seven more months until we're sunning ourselves on the Outer Banks sand and only 364 more days until next Christmas!!

That's a great picture! You two could be sisters.....sis!! Glad to hear you had a wonderful holiday!
This is a great picture!
And I totally agree about it being over in a snap - that's why the whole season is to be enjoyed. Although right now - if you post any more "countdowns to Christmas" I'm never visiting your blog again! UGH :)
hee hee - just teasing. I am exhausted! I can't stand to think of NEXT Christmas!
Merry Christmas! What a cute picture - Layla looks so much like you.
