Thoroughly enjoying this time in my little bubble with my family. Cutting off from the internet/work for a few days to celebrate Christmas has been wonderful.
There are 12 days of Christmas so we are still celebrating over here!...
Just a few of the moments that made this year's Christmas memorable:
Christmas Cookie Decoration contest.
Carols by the piano.
Christmas Eve Mass with my entire family (missing my sister Tricia due with a baby any day!)
Gift exchange.... Happy tears, squeals, and surprises galore.
Babies in Christmas PJ's.
Christmas Day walk with my dad.
Family Bunco Night. (and laughing so hard my side hurt.)
Husband's Christmas Beard.
Sister talks.
Seeing Gabriel interact with his cousins.
Dance Parties in the kitchen.
Non-stop coffee sessions.
I don't want it to be over:( Dreading the drive back to reality!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!
Can't wait to share with you some great things happening on IHOD in 2012!

so much of that reminds me of Christmas with my family! especially the non-stop laughter until pain hits. and then still laughing.
and playing games! we have played hours of games. (our new favorite is called bananagrams. have you heard of it?) and your family gift exchange. i simply love every ounce of joy that Christmas brings. continue to soak it up!

Okay, so I know the 12 days of Christmas song, but how does that translate into celebrating 12 days? Love that you're still enjoying the season.
So many beautiful people, especially kiddies. Enjoy every moment of the remaining holidays. I am so happy I found your blog this year.
