christmas 2011

I love Christmas and the excitement that it brings.  This blog post is long over due, as my Christmas decorations are already taken down, I've stopped listening to Christmas music, and the new year has already come.  But alas, here are some pictures from my time at home for the Christmas holiday.  (I'll try and keep this blog post short.)

I celebrated Christmas Eve at my Dad's house per the usual - chicken parm for dinner with Amy Grant's Christmas album playing in the background.  Alex was ready to open his gifts the moment we got there.

Legos!  Have fun putting those together Dad ;)

I spent Christmas day at my Mom's.  We always do a big lunch, which turns into dinner... for the next week.  It's amazing - so much delicious food!

We got Christmas treats for the boys (dogs) too!

Time to take a nap...

I loved being home for Christmas.  It definitely went by way too fast.  I took home a bunch of work to do, and of course I didn't do any of it.  I really just loved spending time and doing nothing with my family.  I'm not sure when I'll head back home next, but I'm already looking forward to it.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

With Love,
Anna
