Christmas

Wow. What an amazing Christmas weekend I had!! We had 4 members of Carmichael's family stay at our home from Fri evening to Mon afternoon & it was a blast!! It also made me so thankful for the type of man my guy is. I don't mean offense to his brothers, just that they definitely aren't the peanut butter to my jelly. Lol. Loved having his brothers gf & daughter her. Meah seems so nice, grounded & classy. I'd really like to get closer to her & get to know her better. & miss Ma'Leah is TOO cute!!! I just love that little girl to pieces really!!

Christmas Day was pure craziness for me!! We got up at 8, opened presents & then I got to cooking. 5 hrs later I had whipped up a full Christmas meal for 16 people & the food was AMAZING!! We had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, white velveeta mac & chz, stuffing, green bean casserole, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, homemade rolls, homemade cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie, cheesecake & apple pie ala mode!! The dinner was so good that nobody even moved onto dessert til the next day & the only thing to put away was meat. Everything else had been eaten up & not because there wasn't enough! Lol. I take that as a compliment :)

Present wise was great too. Our first Christmas to celebrate together & Carmichael & I did great with each others gifts. He got me 2 pairs of Sperry's that I would have NEVER allowed myself to fork over the cash for & I got him a much wanted Xbox game & Xbox live membership plus some pajamas & I still have a present coming for him that is very personal to him & handmade ;) I'm super stoked about it!

The kids got clothes, shoes, toys, games & all sorts of goodies!! I have to say I was having so much fun & was so busy that the last thing on my mind was taking pictures so I barely have any but I'm ok with that. It's not often I'm that caught up in the moment!

I loved having both of our families together for Christmas & I look forward to the next time!! Hope y'all had a great Christmas too!
