From Huskies To Husbands

So in my last blog I mentioned how un-Christmas like this holiday season has felt, even with all the decorations.

Well, I seem to have found my CHRISTmas spirit again!!  At the last moment mind you - LOL!  I finally found my CHRISTmas spirit at our CHRISTmas Eve service at church.  I needed to be hard core reminded that CHRISTmas really is all about the BIRTH of CHRIST.  Not about the presents.  Not about the food.  Not even about being with family and/or friends.  About the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST the RISEN SAVIOUR!!!  Maybe that was why Christmas didn’t feel like CHRISTmas - I was focusing on all the wrong things to begin with…

Our actual CHRISTmas day was nice though too.  I was woke up by a phone call from my Dad so that he could wish me a Merry Christmas.  Then I called my cousin who is in Germany and wished them a Merry Christmas.  Then we went over to the In-laws and opened presents over there with MIL, FIL, BIL, SIL and our adorable niece.  Then we all came over here and opened presents too.  Then everyone went home for a while.  We made some more phone calls to thank everyone for the gifts and I cooked for like 6 hours straight!!  LOL  But it was fun for me and I enjoyed doing it!  DH played with my new Wii Fit for a while which I got as a present from the in-laws while I was cooking.  I also got to use my new microwave with grilling feature from my BIL and SIL while preparing dinner!  Then we ate our fill of food and nobody saved room for dessert at all.  Our niece played with our dogs and they both loved having a child in the house to love on.  Then everyone went home and I cleaned up and put the TONS of leftovers away!
