Christmas Day

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, we had our best friends (Courtney and Erika) over for a great meal. It was my first real time "entertaining" in our house. But, everyone seemed to enjoy the meal (they even got 2nds!!) and we had a great time just talking. We had so many plans for what we were going to do and just spent most of the time eating and talking. Sorry- I forgot to take pictures.

On Christmas Day, we went over to Mat's parents' house to open presents and eat. We had a great time as always. Plenty of presents and good food. Here are just a few pictures from the day:

My in-laws

Santa came to visit Granny Hams.

Us "kids"- Mat, Me, Charles, and Mary

The dogs- Bonnie, Patsy, and Hogan. Patsy did not want to cooperate for the picture.

This is how Patsy chose to celebrate Christmas. She just wanted to lay at Dad McCarl's feet.

Me and Cubby (the dog we're dog sitting). He is so sweet and has been like my shadow. I wonder if I really have to give him back. :)

This Christmas was definitly different because I wasn't with my family in NC. Because I haven't been feeling good, we just didn't think it was best for me to travel. I missed my family so much!! I have been doing better but really tired. I did have some pain on Christmas Day. I go back to the doctor on Monday.

My Mom and Stepdad are on their way to our house now. They are going to be staying with us this weekend. It will be nice to have them here.

Have a wonderful weekend! And, don't miss all of the sales. :)
