So I know I posted about New Years before Christmas but really in the eternal scheme of things it doesn't matter. So don't judge. Christmas was fabulous this year. Full of the spirit of giving, family, good times and laughter all around. Oh how I love my family! All of us were home for Christmas, minus the Curtis family from Ohio, who were missed. That brought the total for the Hillman household near 20 for Christmas day, which makes for a REALLY loud and crazy day. My two nieces Emma and Liv slept with me on Christmas Eve and it was a fun time getting them to bed. I kept telling them if they didn't go to sleep Santa wouldn't come, finally after about 30 minutes of telling them to stop talking, they both fell asleep. I had told them if they weren't quiet I would go get their parents, Livvy (3) so graciously reminded me, "they aren't parents they are mommies" and then learning from example she reprimanded me for talking by telling me "if YOU don't stop talking I'm getting your parents." Oh how I love kids, it's safe to say I stopped talking, no need to get the parents involved. My sister came and woke me up. I woke the girls up with the promise that Santa came, and they instantly out of bed. They would have been down the stairs if my brother-in-law Jon wasn't there to stop them. We did the typical kids on the stairs picture, and we look a lively bunch for sure. Then proceeded to open presents around the tree. I of course got all sorts of fun stuff for the misison. Oh yeah. Seeing how it fell on Sunday we took a quick trip to church and it was a marvelous meeting. It was nice to see all of the families together. I sure do love this season. It was a nice refresher on what the reason behind the season. Him who lived and died for us. The birth of something and someone very special. The sacrifice he made for us even from his infancy. May we always remember him. I hope your day was truly merry and bright!
Yes we are wearing matching jammies and socks!
