HOME AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS!!!
This is a very special Christmas for my family! My mom has been refinishing a house on the farm that belonged to my papaw! He was brought here when he was 12. He died in 2005 and my mom has been having the old home place remodeled.
I was rushing around getting things ready to go and as I walked past my front door I noticed something I hadn't seen in YEARS!!! Notice in the picture above....CHRISTMAS LIGHTS! The farm house is in the front field in front of my house so, I went outside and took a picture. I know CORNY, right? But for me it was so nice to see LIFE back in that house. We originally built our home on the farm to be close to my papaw. We moved in May and he died the following October. But, when he was alive I would ALWAYS look out and see his lights. Most of the time it was in the barn, but still I knew he was there. I MISS HIM SOOOOO BAD!!!

Me and MINE!
When I was a small girl we would always spend Christmas Eve with Robby. He has always been very special to me and my family. We have ALWAYS referred to him as my Godfather. He would go to my grandparents with us and then come back to our house to open gifts! I am sooo glad that we can still have these very special traditions. Christmas would not be Christmas without
"My Robby!"
I love this picture of Robby and his wife, Jody!
Johnathan and Brad doing what they do best....EATING!
My momma wanted this picture. She has been going through old pictures and found one when she was probably three years old standing in this spot for Christmas! Now years later she is not standing here alone. She is standing here with her family. What a privilege to be my momma's daughter! I love you mom!!!!
So Excited to open gifts! She loved her scooter! Notice the red shorts! They are actually pajama bottoms. My dad had gotten her Power Ranger PJ's. You know the ones that have the shorts and the pants too. Well, she wears the pants to bed. She says that they are her night jammies. First thing in the morning she gets up and puts on the shorts. They are her day Jammies! She insists on wearing them everywhere. She had them on UNDER her pants! At least she has on clothes, right?
Me and the Sister that I never had, biologically. This is my BESTEST friend since I was 19 years old. I know since I am only 22 that isn't that long, right? Come on...it isn't THAT funny!!!!!
Opening more gifts!
Christmas is such a special time! I am thankful for the family that God has blessed me with in this life! I have a very different view of family. Family to me is not ONLY those that have the same blood going through their veins, it is ALL the people in my life that make my heart complete. Thank you GOD for blessing me with my AMAZING FAMILY!!!!!!
