... MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS, BLOG BUDDIES!!!
The day we've been waiting for is finally here! Whether you celebrate Christmas or something else or nothing at all, have a great day today!
I'm going down to spend Christmas day with the parents of my brother's fiance (Amy).
Last night we had a mini-celebration at my mom's with friends, family, neighbors, etc. It was SO MUCH FUN!
Before the party, I spent the day madly shopping for gifts. I had a lot of the "big" gifts sent to my mom's house before I got here, but I needed a bunch of "littles". I think I did pretty well! Here I am wrapping gifts yesterday afternoon (just a by-the-way, I'm wrapping a paper towel holder in paper towels - pretty fancy, huh?):

Here's my nephew, Kai, opening a Seahawks jersey and sweatshirt from my mom:

We're a Seahawks family and, even though they lost yesterday, we're proud fans. Here's Kai with my brother Eric (his dad) and Eric's fiance Amy:

Then my Uncle Kenny and Aunt Carol came over to visit. Uncle Kenny and my dad are responsible for teaching me how to be funny - they were wickedly funny together.

Louise was a paw-fect little Christmas dog-ter last night. In fact, she scored a BUNCH of GREAT presents! Here we are in front of the tree:

It was SO nice to be back home with my family. Christmas has always been a time for us to pull together as a "unit" and celebrate life. Last night was no different.

How was YOUR Christmas Eve? What are YOU doing today?
Have a great day, blog buddies!
