We had an amazing Christmas! We've been able to spend a lot of time with my family, visit with friends, shopping, movies, baking, cooking, and eating yummy Christmas food! I think the high-lights were the hubby and I getting a much needed, relaxing couples massage and going to a Grizzlies game with my family (both wonderful Christmas gifts from my parents). We even had a little snow shower late Christmas night. To say the least we have been spoiled this Christmas! Although I was able to spend Christmas with my family both years while I was living overseas, when you are separated from your family, friends, and country for so long it really gives you a different appreciation and view on things. I really feel like I cherish the time I'm blessed to spend with my family and friends so much more now. Once again, I'm so thankful we're able to be back in the US and be near my family.
While Memphis had a little dusting of snow, Little Rock got dumped on! Of course we were sad to miss it, but I'm thankful we didn't have to deal with the power being out. I heard today that our apartment building has power but since so much of LR doesn't, I think we're staying put in Memphis for a few more days!
Heres a glimpse into our Christmas. Sadly, I have been terrible at taking photos during the holidays this year and have NO photos of me and the hubby :( I think my mom got a few though. Thank goodness for moms!
Home Sweet Home!
