Nothing says Christmas then being at home with my family and seeing snow on the ground!
I got to spend time with all my friends and family while in Indiana. I have to admit..I think I might have spent more time at the mall than anywhere else! I went shopping with my Mom, Colin's mom and my BFF Jessica. While I didn't buy much, it was so nice to walk around with my favorite people to shop with!
I also got to have dinner with my gymnastics family at our favorite hang out- Pepes! I wish I would have taken pictures of us all, but sadly I didn't. There isn't a dinner with them that I don't almost cry from laughing so hard. It was so good to see Cindy, Renee and my adoptive children! I terribly miss coaching gymnastics at LAGC.
Colin and are I blessed that our parents live literally like 30 seconds from each other. It makes for easy traveling during the holidays. On Christmas Eve we always spend the day with Colin's side of the family. We ate a wonderful meal prepared by Colin, went to candlelight service and then opened presents. After presents we all played the game Loaded Questions, it was a great time! Here is a picture I stole from Lauren's facebook (it was the most normal we all looked).
The on Christmas Day we spent the day with my family. We did our normal Christmas routine. We woke up and opened presents followed by egg casserole (it wouldn't be Christmas morning without it). Colin got the new Super Mario Brothers Wii game and we spent the afternoon playing that. My poor Mom got a migraine and slept most of the afternoon but Dad made a wonderful meal of lobster and fillet.
I was so sad when I had to leave both of my families and friends the morning after Christmas!

What does Collin do? Is he a chef...since he made Christmas dinner or is he just that good!
Colin wishes he was a chef! He just really likes to cook. He actually works at Dick's Sporting Goods, hates it, but it's a job :0)
Hope you had a good Christmas!
