Oh Christmas Tree...

Oh! I love Christmas!!! This is totally my most favorite time of year. I love everything about it. I enjoy sitting on my couch listening to Christmas music and watching the snow fall out side, while inside I have all my Christmas lights on and best of all... the tree (thanks again to one of my favorite siblings)!. Sorry, this will be a short post. I just wanted to show everyone all our Christmas lights - inside & out. Brandon put all the lights up on our house, I did the lights on our tree in the front yard (in a snow storm...). Brandon's parents and sister sent us some presents that we got in the mail a week ago, it is taking all my strength not to open them. I can't believe what a temptation it is! I am so grateful for our families and that I have married in to such a giving and loving family. It brings me to tears whenever people are so kind to us. I have a hard time receiving help from others, but this Christmas has been so wonderful so far and I am especially grateful for my wonderful in-laws. I am also grateful that we are able to live so close to my brother and his family. We love watching their children grow up and they too have been so giving to us. Thanks to everyone! We love you!
