Christmas in Huntsville

As always we had a great Christmas up in Huntsville.  I dread the packing and unpacking of travelling(even though the drive itself isn’t bad) but its always so worth it because we all really do get spoiled while we are there.  The weather turned cold so we didn’t do as many outside activities as usual, but the boys still got out to fish some, we went to the downtown park to feed the fish, and on Christmas day we went out in the cold so the boys could ride their new Plasma cars.  Other fun things included delicious food cooked up by my mom and brother (my brother’s homemade nutella was my favorite), a visit with my parent’s neighbors and grandkids, running with my brother, shopping at target with mom, making cookies with Grammy, playing Grammy’s iPad, good games and movies, and massages from my dad!  We are so very blessed and I pray that my boys realize that.  Not only do we have so many riches here on this earth but what a blessing it was to celebrate the day God Himself humbled Himself to come down to this earth to live and die for us.  Happy Birthday to the King of Kings!!!

Christmas morning excitement: Luke Loved his Llama llama books and stuffed animal, and his grocery cart.
