Christmas 2018- Alabama

Alex did an amazing job on Maria's Christmas gift this year. It's already been well loved. 

Only nearly a month late posting this...that'll give you idea of  how fast time is flying by down here.
I'm not sure what to say except that family is so good, and we are so blessed beyond measure. 

A couple of things to remember:

-We officially have a pet! Simon recieved a hampster (Max) from Santa. So basically, now when we ask Simon to please clean up his room because it smells like a hampster, it literally smells like a hampster.... (insert face cringe)
-Baby passing around- lots of it. :)
-Baked spaghetti- Ok, that was amazing Mom!
-Sorry for eating all your cookies Misty... OK, maybe I'm not.
-Good ol' passionate conversations. It's just in our DNA and I love it.
-Christmas Eve Mass, Hannah grinning all the way down the aisle and our family taking up nearly an entire row.
-Cousins! Our holiday seasons have definately been lacking in that.
-Christmas morning, and Paul's complete overjoy at finding tractor socks in his stocking.
  He didn't even realize until 30 minutes later that the bike next to his stocking was also his. :)
