The absolute best part about Christmas is being with family and friends. This year, we were blessed to be able to be in the States and home for Christmas! We weren't sure if Jason was going to make it in time, but he did. :)
Christmas Eve we spent the evening with Jasons side of the family (extended - aunts, uncles, cousins..) and then went to the 11 o'clock service at St. Pauls with his parents and brother. We were exhausted and debated going, but I forgot how beautiful "midnight" mass was. On Saturday, we got to celebrate Christmas again with the other side of his family.
Christmas morning was spent with my parents, sisters, brother-in-law and nephew. These are some pictures from the day. My "puppy" Stitch sat in the middle of the floor the whole time. I guess he thought he was going to miss something? Jerry, Jon and Jason (yes.... all the guys names start with J..except Travis [and he was going to be a "justin" --they should have picked that name! lol ) all got drill bits and a tool bag. Jason and Jon (in the middle picture) were like two kids with those tools! They loved them! The last picture is me with my present from my wonderful husband!! As you know, he spend the last 6 weeks in India. Last time we went, we saw how they made these marble and stone tables in Agra, India. At the time, we didn't want to spend the money on it, but once we got home, I had wished we had. So.... he remembered me saying that and brought one home for me! It has 2084 semi-precious stones, hand carved into the marble. It is absolutely beautiful : ) It's something that we can pass down to kids/grandkids one day and there's a story behind it. We didn't just order or buy it.. we actually were in India and saw men making the tables. Jason also got a chess set thats made in black onyx with marble pieces.
We hope you all had a wonderful and Merry Christmas with your friends and family!
