Christmas 2015

Christmas is such a fun holiday. I've always loved the spirit around and the joy the season seems to bring. This year I had to work Christmas Eve and Day. It actually really sucked. It's been tradition for as long as I can remember we have gone to Grandma Vicki's. With getting married and having to split holidays plus working in healthcare I haven't had a 'traditional' Christmas in a long time. We had dinner at my parents house with some family. My moms homemade food is to die for! That definitely brought some of the tradition I was hoping for! We played a round of Nines and opened our Christmas pajamas. Later, I went to work which was difficult to leave my family and hubby. I'll admit I cried. Darin was so nice to comfort me! At work there was some Christmas Spirit and everyone had the same feelings I did but we made the best of it. There was lots food and treats. Later that night my cute family came to visit me at work! Made my night! They brought some homemade fudge and toffee. It helped to see their faces because it was so difficult to work Chrismtas. After that Darin came and saw me and it was so cute. I am sure grateful for them to help me through it! 
Christmas Day was very fun as well! We went to my parents opened presents And had breakfast and then headed to Darin's parents! We opened presents with them and Then I slept most of the day. Darin got to talk to his brother Justin who is in a mission in Florida. I didn't because I was sleeping and had to work that night but I had them pass on my love! We had dinner with his family and the I headed back to work. 
Although this Christmas wasn't traditional I still had a great Christmas. It will make all the holidays I don't work so much better! Right?! 
This years presents consisted of clothing, shoes, A NEW SEWING MACHINE, money, and so much more! We sure love our families and enjoy the times we have together! I hope everyone's Christmases were just as great! Merry Christmas 2015!
