It is 12:30 a.m., and I am kinda thinking that my giddiness to try out my new Keurig at 10 p.m. wasn't such a good idea... Guess I will have to pay for this tomorrow :/ Or....., MAYBE it wasn't such a bad thing because I am actually posting a Christmas post, only minutes after Christmas day! That's pretty good, considering my last few posts have been tack-ish-ly late in appearing on here!
Hands down, BEST.CHRISTMAS.EVER!!! Everything was perfect, and I'm a wee bit blue that it is coming to a close :( From Kenadie's Christmas party at school last Thursday, to spending Christmas night with the Zumwalts, and EVERYTHING in between, it was perfect! Definitely one of those times I wish I had a freeze button so that I could make time stand still, and just soak in every minute, well... maybe not those minutes spent running around like a chicken with my head cut off, but for the most part, everything was overly enjoyable, and for that I am thankful!
Christmas Eve was spent wrapping those last few gifts, timing naps to keep everyone happy and afloat and in that jolly, Christmas spirit :), visiting with family, celebrating the birth of our Savior, attending our church's candlelight Christmas Eve service, chowing down on some yummy white chicken chili, baked ham and cheese sandwiches and caramel pie, and having children all nestled snug in their beds by about 8:30!
Christmas Eve, getting a few visits in before heading to church
My parent's tree, a repetitive background in numerous pics to come throughout this post.
Aaron is blessed to have BOTH sets of his grandparents! I'm a little envious of people like that :)

Christmas morning!
2 little girls anxiously await going downstairs, but Mommy must get their pic first!
The Rapunzel hat was a hit!
As was all of her baby stuff!!! I've only waited five years, but it looks like I may indeed have a little girl who loves baby dolls! If you thought all little girls liked such, think again :(
This morning's wake time, 7:30!!! I can count on one hand the times this has happened in the past 5 years! Late sleepers they are not!
Like I said, the hat was a hit :)
Sometimes I can't get over how sweet this little girl is! If you know her, and don't find the previous statement to be true, you should be her mommy :)
And this little girl is a sweetie too! Big sister kind of set the bar a little high, but we're learning :)
Proceed with caution!!! Lady with no make-up and crazy hair in following pic! Keeping it real... It is Christmas morning!
Highlight for this little girl, getting "Fishy" the fish! She had only made her request known no less than 100 times in the past week for a fish! And when your little girl is moved to tears because she is so happy about something, yep, that fish that I will now have to look after and tend to, was totally worth it :)
Love 'em!!!
Kay Kay prepares a delicious breakfast AND lunch!
But, it was a nap that was looking a little better than any food we put on her plate for Berkley!
Annie enjoyed Christmas too!
Kenadie, Berkley, and Connor at Papaw and D's house for dinner and presents!
One who wasn't feeling well is already in his jammies :(
We love our boiled shrimp/corn on the cob/potatoes Christmas dinner with Papaw and D!
Loving her new baby :)
Thankful for another year with my family, celebrating our Savior's birth! Numerous times throughout the day, I was overcome with thankfulness. We are blessed beyond measure. Merry Christmas to you all!!!
