I'm not sure, but I think this might be one for the record books (at least my own personal "record book"!). This Christmas has been wonderful! My entire family was home...my brother from college in Springfield, MO, my step-brother from Dallas, TX, and my DH, kids and I were all there. My sister is living at home while pursuing her masters, so we were actually ALL together. My kids got exactly what they had asked Santa for (thank God they only asked for one thing each! LOL). They were so excited for Christmas, and their excitement was contagious. Christmas Eve service was at the church my Grandmom attends, which is what we did when I was growing up. We also even went to my Uncle's house after the service, just like old times...but without the tension that used to be there. It was really a perfect Christmas! My grandmother and great-aunt came on Christmas morning to watch the kids open their gifts, and my kids were so patient while waiting on them to arrive! :) I'm so proud of them!!! Here are a couple pics:
