The holidays are my absolute favorite time of year. Even with my Grandmother barely hanging on in the hospital I was determined to make this Christmas extra special for our little guy. Between daily visits to the Hospital, work, etc., we managed to pull it off (thanks to Amazon where I did ALL of my Christmas shopping ... gotta love the no tax and free shipping!)
We went to the Christmas Eve services at the Crystal Cathedral. It has been a tradition with Buds family and one of my favorite. It is an absolute beautiful service and the pastor always pulls through with an inspirational message.
Christmas morning was priceless with Tyler opening ALL of his presents (I went a little overboard on Amazon!) he was so excited with every gift and the smile on his face and adorable reactions just warmed my heart. After presents my Mom, brother and I went to visit Grandma and wish her a Merry Christmas. It was very emotional but with a lot of preyers and hugs we had hope that she would pull through.
With everything going on with my Grandma I really wanted to stay home, plus it was our first Christmas in our new home. We had a wonderful and yummy dinner with everyone pitching in and had lots of fun and laughter opening gifts with our family. We are so truly blessed with the love of our family.
