Christmas

So, I spent Christmas with my family, the Lofland family and some of Greg's family. It was pretty relaxing. On Christmas Eve Mom and I watched a movie and chatted. Poor Dad eventually was sucked into the chick-flick also! On Christmas day we opened gifts in our PJ's. Remember when you were little and you couldn't wait for a new toy? Now we are happy with gift cards and cute sweaters!

Then I went over to the Loflands for brunch like I do every year. Larry makes such a delicious meal with waffles, bagels, bacon, quiches, casseroles, and eggs. YUM! Oh- Did I forget a mimosa? :) Debbie's daughter had a baby. Her name is Brooke and she is only five days old. I just wanted to take her home.

Then it was back home to celebrate with my grandparents and cousin Diane. We all were relaxed this year. It is nice when you get older because you take your time opening gifts and you actually see what everyone is opening, instead of paper flying in the air and kids screaming (although it will be fun to have that in my house one day!).

Even Spielman came over for a while (like she and I do for all the holidays)! :) I actually was able to spend some time with my sister too. I am always sad when Christmas is over but glad to create such nice memories :)

Burr . . . it is cold outside!

I thought today would be a great day to write since it is cold outside and I am plopped on my couch waiting for Chloe to have kittens. It is freezing outside. We got our first little taste of snow. I hope that we get to use snow days this year! The perk of being a teacher :)

I just got back from Lynchburg and had a great time with LT and Lauren. Lauren and I finally met LT's soon-t0-be-hubby. He is adorable. You can tell that he absolutely adores LT. I am so incredibly happy for her. I also got to spend tons of time with Doc, Lauren's little boy. He is getting so big! Already fifteen pounds and he is just three months old! Being around Doc makes you have initial baby-fever (keyword: initial - not there yet ha!). I am still thinking about Lynchburg as a place to live but am not sure if or how that would work plus I met a really nice guy here. That always changes things a bit. :) I have to say sometimes this stage of life is frustrating with all the unknowns, however, it is also exciting and nice to know there are endless possibilities!
