christmas

christmas was amazing this year... as always. we are so so blessed to have such amazing families. christmas was also hectic (as always), but it was fun nonetheless. on thursday, we drove to saltillo to have christmas w/my mom and stepdad. it was very laid back, which was great.... we ordered bbq from eli's in tupelo and stayed in comfy clothes, which is always my ideal outfit :) we were supposed to have it w/all of my mom's family but my uncle and his wife had their 3rd child earlier last week so we had to change that christmas to this week. then on friday we headed to aberdeen for christmas w/my dad and stepmom. we always have breakfast on christmas eve then open presents.... it was wonderful as well. not long after breakfast, we had to pack up and head back home. lucy was so exhausted from the past 2 days, i, of course, hoped she would nap the entire way back. did she?? of course not. too tired, i guess. so we played w/some of her new toys when we got home then she took a long nap (thank goodness :) while i was very thankful she napped, we missed the christmas eve service at our church..... i knew she needed sleep b/c at 7 we have christmas at ju's granddad's w/all of his family. i was sad to miss the service though :( christmas at his granddad's was great, and lucy was pretty sassy! of course bedtime came late (about 10!) but at least we were all able to sleep in our own beds that night! then christmas day morning we went to town to ju's parents' house to open presents there before heading to his aunt's house for christmas w/just about the entire roberson clan. we played some at mimmy and pa's (ju's parents :) after breakfast before coming home to crash... well lucy crashed. ju went hunting and i semi straightened up the christmas tornado that hit our house. luce loves all of her new toys! she got soooo many! overall, all 3 of us had such a wonderful christmas and are blessed beyond what we deserve. very thankful for our families.

here are just a few pictures from our 4 day chrismas spree....

we're back... for now.

well we're back... for now. my last blog post was june, which seems like was quite a while ago. oops. life is busy... what can i say? here's a quick catch-up.....

i started school. again. i'm taking a few prerequisite classes so that i can hopefully get into nursing school next fall. (fingers crossed.)

lucy turned one. (i'll post pics from her awesome party as soon as all is settled down from christmas.) it was bittersweet.... she's so big now. i love watching her grow; however, i grow sadder every day. she's so not a baby anymore :( one thing she is though... amazing. absolutely amazing.


so that's a really quick recap. it's all i have the energy to do tonight. we leave tomorrow to go to saltillo to have christmas w/my mom and stepdad then to aberdeen friday for christmas w/my dad and stepmom then back here christmas eve day for christmas here, which is christmas eve service at church then on to ju's grandfather's for christmas w/his whole fam then breakfast christmas day w/the rest of the roberson family. wow--i'm exhausted just typing it. but i'm looking forward to it. christmas will be so much fun w/lucy this year :)


merry christmas,
molly
