Tonight we went to Auntie Sarah and Uncle Jim's house for our annual Christmas Eve celebration! As usual, the house was decorated beautifully. Everyone was in great spirits, and the evening was wonderful!!!
Here is Grandma and Grandpa J with Dillon...
I love this pic of Grandma...
Here is Big Man sitting in the middle of all the presents before they were passed out!!
The Ultimate.....A color changing lightsaber!!!
This is my absolute favorite picture from the whole night!!!!! Surprise!!!
Some of the best men you'll ever meet.....
Big Man loved watching everyone open their gifts...
Yes! The pillow cases to match the blanket!!
This picture says "pure joy" to me!! You can tell by Bubba's face that Uncle Jim has just said something hilarious!!
There's nothing quite like a good ol' lightsaber fight in the middle of the living room with Uncle Jim!!
I had to include some selfies with my favorites.....
My mom...my neighbor, one of my best friends. I don't have to pretend to be anything I'm not with you. We have the best times together!!! I'm the most lucky girl in the entire universe to have you, Pop and Bubs next door. Seriously. I love you just the way you are right now. Forever.
Me and my Bo. Can you believe we have been married for almost 19 years??? I cannot even grasp that. We have grown up together. We continue to grow together. I love making this journey called life with you. I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. You help me become who I was meant to be. You complete me. And I could never thank you enough for all you do for this family. You are truly a dream come true. My knight in shining armor.
My Bubs....there aren't quite the words to express my feelings for them. Even though they are my brothers...they are more like my first children. I love them as much as my own children. It's been such an amazing trip to watch them grow up. I remember when they were born. They stole my heart. I remember *everything*. Learning to crawl...learning to walk...school plays...wrestling matches with broken glasses....candle eating....feed sissy candy that had ants in it....Christmas day new bicycle wheelies gone bad....parties...graduations...I am so blessed to have these boys in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without them. I couldn't be prouder of them. They know family comes first. And, they will always be my real and true First Loves.
Look at this picture!!!
The cookies and milk are ready for Santa...complete with a carrot for the reindeer.
Before bed tonight I went all around the house taking pictures....of dolls set up under trees giving gifts....of nut crackers and lego guys hanging out under the tree....what a truly magical night. I am thankful for the technology to be able to capture these moments, making them timeless.....
These are the moments that life is all about.
