The holidays

Every December I get really excited for Christmas because it is my favorite holiday. But I also get very stressed and overwhelmed with all the holiday parties. Especially this year with having a 3 month old baby. No more getting ready a half hour before you have to leave. It takes four hours to get yourself, your husband, and your baby ready to go anywhere. This year we had at least two or sometimes even 4 four parties in a week! I have to say though, i really enjoyed each one of them. Being with family, eating a lot and relaxing with great people! I tried hard to remember the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday season. I am truly grateful for everything in my life and especially family! Me and John are blessed to live so close to so many family members. My parents and my brother and his family live out of state so we miss them, but i am so grateful for the amazing technology that we have. We were able to skype with them and it was awesome! So i am still getting used to this whole blogging thing so my pictures are kinda out of order. They are all from December though! I realized after this post took me FOREVER, that i need to update the blog more than once a month...oops! Anyways, hope you enjoy and hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
