To say we had a blessed Christmas this year would be an understatement. It was full of family and love and just couldn't have been any sweeter. We drove to Virginia Friday after work and spent all Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with my family, including my grandparents. Gaines and I alternate Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we just pretended that Sunday was Christmas Eve (complete with a prime rib dinner and the reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas) and that Monday was Christmas (complete with stockings, Christmas breakfast, and lots of presents). Honestly, it didn't fill that strange to celebrate early, and I was so thankful for the time with my family.
We got up really, really early on Tuesday (the real Christmas Eve) and drove back down to Georgia to spend it with Gaines' family. There traditions are really similar to ours, and I loved spending time with a lot of his extended family, as well. I hate that I didn't get more pictures, but I was way too busy having so much fun. :)
Oh, and a few years ago we started the tradition of getting each other an ornament to represent each year, and I was pretty impressed by our selections this year. :)
I hope you enjoyed your Christmas, too!!
