Christmas is OVER :)

And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Really, I do. This year Christmas just wiped me out! WOW! I really didn't do alot of shopping, I think a majority of my meltdown was traveling. Christmas Eve day we had Shannon's family over for Christmas Brunch. It was yummy and delicious and the company was even better :) Then off to my dad and step-moms house in Walterboro for their annual party. There were so many people there that had never met Norah, so that was a real treat to see family that we haven't seen since she has been home. Of course she loved being the center of attention once she settled in and she had a blast! She was running around after Elias the other boys chasing them and then they would chase her. Then back to my moms house to spend the night. We can;t stay at our house because we do not have a chimney, and Santa cannot get inside without a chimney dontcha know. I didn't get to bed until around 1:30 and Elias was in my face, literally, at 6am. That kid has never woken at 6 his whole entire life. Lovely. So we opened gifts and made the traditional Hazelnut coffee and mom made her famous sausage and cheese biscuits. It is divine I tell you. I HAD to nap. I knew that I was going to collapse at any moment if I didn't close my eyes. Mom woke me up at 2:00. We had to leave to go back to Walterboro for Christmas with my mom;s side of the family. One hour to shower, bathe the kids, get them dressed as well as get all of our things together to head back home straight from Wallyworld. Ugh. We did it though :) Walterboro was fun times as usual. It is so good to see everyone and spend time with family this time of the year. Gives me warm fuzzies :) Shannon;s mom and dad and brother Nick and his wife Jess will be coming in a few days to wrap up the Christmas festivities. And a good night was had by all :) Here are some pics that I have been meaning to post as well as some from Christmas. Enjoy :)
