I am one lucky girl. I celebrated Christmas twice this year.

In Pensacola, Garth and I rode our bikes around our neighborhood on Christmas Eve looking at all of the Christmas lights and broadcasting Christmas music. I was wearing shorts. Garth made a fort in the living room and we cuddled inside and watched movies till we fell asleep. Christmas morning was spent opening presents and eating strawberry shortcake. Later in the day we went out to the movies (we saw two at two different theaters), and then we packed me up to travel to Spokane.

In Spokane I was greeted by 30 something inches of snow, and two very large, very insulated brothers. We made our way through the quiet blue streets and slept in the next morning. When we had all assembled in matching pajamas (except Stevo and his wife who were still in Utah!) the festivites began and it was a flury of unwrapping and squeels and hugs. All 5 of my neices and nephews were present, and that’s enough to celebrate on it’s own.

More festivities followed with New Years and Abraham’s birthday party, but I won’t overwhelm you today. Hope you’re cozy and happy in your little igloos or teepees.
