Christmas

It is Tradition at Our House,
that When It is Your Birthday,
You Get Sweet Rolls and Breakfast in Bed;

Hence,

Christmas Morning

Always Starts with Sweet Rolls,

and Singing

"Happy Birthday" to Jesus.


Because We had Church at 9AM,


We Got All Fixed Up and Sweet Roll-ed,


Before We could Peek at What the Jolly Ol' Elf Brought!



{SURPRISE!}



After Checking Out the New Goods and Stockings,


I Pulled Out a New Christmas Tie for Each of My Gang



[And Then We Went to Church]


And Upon Our Return Home,


This is How We Christmas-ed:



{Merry Christmas}

We Were Glad to Have Grandpa T and Aunt K Join Us


for Christmas Eve, Church, and our Christmas Day Festivities.


We Ended the Day with a Trip Out to the Cemetery,


To Wish Merry Christmas to Ryan's Mom,


Whom We Lost


just 12 Weeks Before Christmas.


We Sure Missed Her

Beautiful pictures, and I love the new ties. I haven't been able to get on my blog for a long time, and didn't know about Ryan's mom. I am so saddened to hear that--what a difficult time to go through. You're in my prayers.

Gosh, I feel like the worst friend ever. I just went and looked back through your posts to find when you had written about Ryan's mom. I don't know how I missed that. I really try to keep up on your amazing life. So, so sorry. What an amazing woman. Love you guys.
