Merry Christmas

This has by far been our most relaxing Christmas since Shaun and I have been married. Usually we spend the day running around all over Birmingham seeing as much family as we can squeeze in there. But this year everything seemed to work out so nicely and Shaun and I made fewer stops than we usually do. We attended our church's Christmas Eve service and were so excited to have Shaun's parents Steve and Tina join us. My younger brother Mark even joined us, so it was nice to have them there with us. Our Christmas morning started out with a little Christmas miracle-Lillian even slept until 7:00 am this morning! She usually is wide awake between 5:30 and 6:00. Shaun and I considered it her little gift to us.

We enjoyed a yummy Christmas breakfast at Alli and Korey's house and then headed over to Shaun's parents house for lunch. I think Shaun and I can both say that we may have eaten a little to much today. It was a lot of fun all being together and opening gifts, but Ryan, Julia and Wyatt were greatly missed. We were all excited when Ryan called with the good news that Wyatt was doing well today, and that hopefully he will be coming home on Tuesday!! Sweet Lillian had so much fun today, and was so excited about all of the toys she got. She felt like she needed to play with everyone of them before going to bed tonight. I hope everyone had as wonderful Christmas as we have had this year!
