This past Christmas was the first Christmas that I did not leave the city of Louisville since I was in high school. It made things really calm, which helped balance out the craziness that I was wrapping presents on Christmas morning (are we all noticing a theme here....again, better late than never, right?). It definitely beat last Christmas when it felt as though we travelled the globe to see everyone at Christmastime! Unexpectedly, Stephen's mom ended up staying in Louisville for Christmas because Stephen's sister had a baby. Which meant that we celebrated with his family on Christmas Eve, my family on Christmas day, and then with his family again (when his dad returned from Pittsburgh) later on in the week. We had a lot to celebrate, and celebrate a lot we did!
So, on Christmas Eve we went to church with Stephen's family (minus his pops) and then went back to his parents house to eat a yummy meal!
Christmas Eve:
On Christmas Day we woke up and headed over to my parents house to enjoy Christmas with my family...unfortunately, we're not good about taking pictures - here's the only picture that I have from Christmas day (I stole it from my sister):
Celebrating Christmas later on that week with Stephen's whole family (Pops included):
All the grandbabies
This picture makes me laugh - Nathan and Ashley are both still such attractive people, even in their outtakes!
Noni and her great grandbabies
4 generations

Jake, getting some loving!
Nona and Nunu with their grandbabies
The whole clan
Somebody (I'm not going to name any names...) got really hot from running around like a crazy woman. Her solution? Strip. Ah - the benefits of being a child!
A little late, but I hope you had the merriest Christmas!

After 5 hours of no naps, Emma has finally conked out. So what do I do before I crash too? Check in with the Crazy Lady. And ah-ha! You have posted!! What a pleasant way to end a hectic afternoon. I get a kick out the last picture. But even funnier is that I once heard of a girl that liked to strip out of her pants and walk around the house with no pants on!! ;) I'm glad you're still blogging about Christmas. I received a Cmas card two days ago--no joke! "Happy February" was written on the envelope. Way to keep the spirit alive. Joy to the world!! Smoochies!
