I'm dreaming of a....

I haven't updated my blog in a few days, so I'm sorry! I've been in Alabama since Wednesday afternoon and have spent the entire time just hanging out with family. It has been so refreshing! I don't get to see my family much, so it's been nice to spend time with them. Thursday night I even got to hang out with my two little eight year old cousins... they are in third grade and simply adorable! They are growing up so fast. I loved hanging out with them!
Yesterday we did Christmas brunch with my mom's family. It was great getting to spend time with them! I got to see my cousin Catherine, who I hadn't seen since right before I moved to Dallas in '09! It was great catching up with her. Dirty Santa was fun, as always, and I left with a bag of sephora make up! After that we spent some time with my mom's parents. They are the greatest grandparents in the world! I only wish I lived closer and could see them more often.

My family! Chase, Holly, Alicean, Kevin, Mawmaw, me, and Pawpaw!

Me, Alicean, and Kevin!

Christmas today was wonderful! It was probably one of the best in awhile. We spent the day eating, opening presents, watching movies, and oh did I mention? Playing in the snow! We had so much snow! I think my dad's house got at least 3-4 inches. We went down into town today (my dad lives up on a mountain) and they hardly had any down low! But we got tons up on the mountain. My camera was dead, but as soon as my sister in law posts pictures, I will upload some on my blog!
I got a cricut for Christmas! I absoutely cannot wait to start cricutting everything and anything! As soon as I start I will post pictures. After I get that going, I might start an etsy store! I could sell headbands, canvases, and cricutted things... the possiblities are endless! I'll keep you updated...
All day I kept thinking about how much my mom would have loved a white christmas. I can just hear her walking around the house singing "I'm dreaming of a white christmas..." right now! Gosh, she would have been overjoyed. Christmas is always a bittersweet day. I only wish she could have spent it here with us. But can you imagine celebrating Christ's birth with Christ? I'm sure it is breathtaking. Happy Birthday to my sweet Jesus! I am so thankful that our God loves and cares enough to send His son so that we can one day be with Him. We serve a mighty God and I can't wait until the day that I get to celebrate a Christmas in Heaven with Him and my Lala!
