CHRISTmas. enough said.
I love the holiday fesitivities and love to decorate, and wear green and red and be all sorts of cheery...but I just didn't feel cheery this year, It might have something to with this deployment...ok, It does.. I want more than anything for Patrick to be home and safe and out of harms way..and to be happy, and with his family...
...but God and Aiden kept my head up. They always do :)
MORNING
We started out the day at home, I got woken up my lovely boy wanting to eat.. I walked up stairs to my VERY patient 4 year old nephew. He knew how many presents Santa had left under the tree but he waiting for my sister and I to get the babies fed haha. We all sat around our fireplace and opended gifts with one another, I loved Noah's face when he got his Xbox, he can't read.. but boy can he recognize a game system haha, It was also Kendall's 1st Christmas :)
MID-DAY
We always go to my Grandma's house and meet with all of my family and eat yummy breafkast my grandparents make. Eggs, bacon, country ham, biscuits.. mmmm :) I went in my sweats this year. Go me.
We swapped gifts here and had alot of fun :) Kendall, Aiden and Noah got some great gifts as well of the rest of us. Im thankful for our family, we may be crazy, but hey- at least we have a good time haha.
AFTERNOON
Came home and unloaded cars,showered,cleaned... did I say breathing in here? No? oh.. must be because we never slow down and relax until 11pm haha
EVENING
Aunt Cheri's house for dinner! Once again, more delicious food..thats when the snow started. Snow snow and more snow, we got snowed in at my aunts house and had a sleepover haha, My aunt volunteered to stay up with Aiden so I could get some sleep... but even if I hear a peep out of him im up.. even if someone else gets up and feeds him, I can't sleep unless he is.
Aiden had a good day for being moved around so much, but then again he doesn't get fussy unless he's crazy hungry. Merry Christmas!
I got my Christmas present in October, thanks honey.. its the best one I've ever gotten.
baaaah she's gorgeous
Aidenbug got a light up rattle :)
Noahy got clothes...this was his reaction hahaha
Familia <3
My love,
I missed you. I miss you, I always miss you. Im sad that you weren't home, but I hate that you had to be where you are, I'd much rather you enjoy the hawaii air then running around in Afghan-land. Id actually rather have ya by my side where ya belong.. but anywhere but there. I hope you were able to get some rest, and your feeling better and ya could enjoy your Christmas day some. I saw the pictures of Santa on the 2/3 site, hopefully ya got a visit from him ;) I can't wait to talk to ya again..and see your gorgeous face.
Loveyou xoxo
Kelsey
