A Beautiful Christmas!

Beautiful Christmas

  This Christmas has been a wonderful one. Justin and I started the day in a very lazy way by sleeping in until 9am. I helped mom rap some gifts, then I got ready and we went over to see the Griggs clan. Justin and I where given 3 gift cards that we hope to use this weekend ;). I also got some great makeup and Justin got a new watch and wallet!

  We then went over to Karma’s where she had stayed up all night making a big dinner for us all. Justin and I ate our dinner at the “kiddy table” with the girls, (the kid table is always the best place to set!). I got to have some much needed girl time! I love the fact that I can just be so real with my nieces and I always have such a blast talking with them, for their ages they really are amazingly mature!

  After dinner we opened some more presents and took a lot of pictures! Carlen then gave her gift to the girls which where two new piercings for each of them. Annie and Dilia both got nose piercings and navel (belly button) peircings, Dilia and Brit both got Tragus piercings on both their left and right ears. Annie also got a Helix piercing. After taking pictures and because I have been thinking of getting done for a while I got my right ear pierced with a Tragus. (Which hurt much less then I thought it would! Hardly hurt at all really!)

  By the time we where all done with all the piercings it was time to be heading home. When Justin and I arrived we found Mom and Dad talking to Greg and Rachel on Skype and we where able to talk to them for quite a while before the connection got dropped. It was so nice to be able to say Marry Christmas though.

  When we went back up stars my mom gave me the best gift I had gotten all day! My cousin’s daughter Olivia (I think of her more of a niece then I do my second cousin) had made Justin and I hand made ornaments! It brought tears to my eyes and truly made me feel so loved! And where I would not trade the time I got to spend with my nieces today I have to admit that I really wish I could have seen my Fish family too.

  That pretty well covers the day! It went too quickly but was greatly enjoyed. God has so greatly blessed me, I have a wonderful family and I am so thankful for every one of them. It is days like today that I realize that God really does give us what we don’t deserve and what a beautiful gift that is!
