Well tomorrow is the big day that this whole season has been working up to!! Santa comes tonight hehe My whole family is going to my Grandma's again, like we do every year. I always love going there. Her house is so warm and cozy, and we have great memories there! Christmas just wouldn't be the same!! Tomorrow morning we are doing the usual rutine! Open our presents in the morning and then having a big breakfast. Then, Blake is coming over to open his presents. He is going to take me back to his house, open presents there, and then go to his Grandma Murr's house. We will have a big dinner there and then go to his other Grandma's house....his Grandma Aston. I am looking forward to it! His family is very welcoming and loving. I just can't wait to spend it with my love...Blake. That is all I want for Christmas, and I got it! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday...and I will add pictures from the next couple days in a little while (if I can get it to work). Merry Christmas!!

                          To you this night is born a Child

                          Of Mary, chosen mother mild;

                           This little child, of lowly birth

                          Shall be the joy of all the earth.
