Christmas

I can't believe Christmas is here and gone already, wow!  We had a pretty good Christmas.  Not going to lie it was a pretty hard Christmas too.  This was supposed to be Nolan's first Christmas, he and my niece Kirsten were supposed to celebrate their first Christmas together.  We so enjoyed being around family even though our hearts were missing our sweet little baby.
My mom, who is a nurse, had to work this Christmas.  So we celebrated Christmas with my family on the 23rd instead.  Oh it was soooo fun to watch Kirsten open her gifts.  No, she was not spoiled at all this year, big lie:)
On Christmas Eve we drove to my Sister-in-laws house.  She lives about 4 hours away.  Since 4 out of 6 of my husbands brothers and sisters all live here they usually travel here.  It was nice to be able to go visit them for a change.  We stayed over with them that night and got up the next day to drive another hour from where we were to spend Christmas day with Clint's uncle.  This is so not a typical Christmas for us, we rarely travel and usually get together with our families here.  I think the fact that we didn't do our traditional Christmas routines and since we were soooo busy traveling it made Christmas a little bit easier.  We still have one more Christmas, but not until January 9th.  That will be with my mom's extended family!
I wasn't very good about taking pictures this weekend, sorry!  But I do have a few pics from this Christmas season to share:

Our Christmas Tree

Us and our sweet puppy, Nevaeh.  Yes, that is Heaven backwards, I will have to share the story of how we got our puppy another time ;)

I made this, with a little help from my husband, for my aunt for Christmas.  I cut out the stars all by myself!!!!

Clint helped make this for my dad, he loves his Jack Daniels.  No I am not calling him a drunk, he just really likes it, ha!  We thought this would be fun for him to have in his office at home.

I also made a really neat gift for my mom, but the only pics I have are on my phone.  I do not have a fancy phone so I don't even know how to get the pictures off of it.  I'll take a pic when I am at her house next!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas,
