merry christmas

christmas came so fast this year! it felt like thanksgiving was only a week or two ago. time needs to slow wayyy down. it didn't even really feel like christmas until christmas eve rolled around. but when it started snowing it finally started to feel like the holidays. ah i love having a white christmas!!! it's so magical and beautiful. me and the fam spent christmas eve at my aunts house. we had the best dinner that was so so yummy. and a played games all night long. it was such a great evening. and we all laughed a lot. i love this holiday season and all the fun festivities and traditions that come with it.

christmas morning started at around eight. which still felt too early for me! past two years i've been the last one awake. i really got everything i could need for christmas. isn't it funny how when we are kids books and clothes are the last thing we want for christmas. but now they are pretty much all i ask for haha. one of the best parts of christmas was watching my family as i gave them gifts. i managed to make them all cry...whoops. good thing they were happy tears. church was wonderful and it is so special to be there on christmas day. for christmas dinner we had a large family dinner at grandma's house. then i spent time talking with family and playing games with my cousins and aunt and uncle. 

it was such a perfect day. and i got the white christmas i was dreaming and hoping for to top it all off.
