Christmas eve we spent at my sister Annie's house.
we had an amazing dinner.

laughed.
and of course i even cried.
i love my sister and her husband Brian.
they are so good to me and my family.
it was so great to be with them in their beautiful home.
Christmas day was magic.
we all slpet in late.
i made a big breakfast Ebeliskivers a Romney tradition.
then we opened gifts.
there were some fun surprises.
my kids spoiled me.
Meg is the ring leader of course.
after opening gifts we lounged for a while then went to my Mom and Dad's for dinner with all of my family who is in town.
The Romneys, Kelms and Asletts.
My darling 84 year old mother cooked a turkey.
It was nice to be togeter.
we listened to stories, sang carols, shared what Christmas means.
i love Christmas.
i love having my kids with me.
i love buying gifts for friends and family.
i love decorating my home.
the tree.
the lights.
getting together with Family and friends.
the people i love.
i truly am grateful.
i feel overwhelmed with gratitude towards a loving Heavenly Father who knows me and my needs.
Christmas is a special time of the year.
i hope and it is my prayer that you and your family had a beautiful Holiday as well. That you felt joy and love.
Santa came.
but the most important thing to me were not the beautiful gifts under my tree, it was being with the most important people i love.
my family.
Happy Monday.

what a beautiful post, and you have gorgeous kids, you are truly blessed, I felt that way this year too, just so content and at peace, I love Christmas too, so sad that it's over, took my tree down and every ornament I take off reminds me of something or someone, I love that, may 2012 be GOOD to you Margie :)
