We made the drive north to good ol Palatka, Fl on Wednesday the 23rd for a party that night to visit with and spend time with other family members that we probably wouldn’t see during the remainder of our trip. My husband has a very large, and quite confusing, family. I must have asked him over 10 times to explain all the connections! Either way, they’re all great and wonderful people to be around so I enjoy spending time with them. I also love how they all show so much affection for our son. I know for a fact that Shaughn will have a great upbringing with all of us there to love and support him, and that makes us feel good . After nearly 2 years of marriage, I finally got my wedding rings as a Christmas gift and my, are they beautiful. Opening presents was a fun time, everyone smiling as we all tore apart wrapping paper to discover what goodies we received. My sister in law, who is also a fellow “Twilighter” got me this extremely comfortable Jacob Black blanket, I love it! One of our good friends from the military drove down from Tennessee to spend Christmas with us all as well, and he had a great time. We tried to see as many people as time would allow but still didn’t get to everyone which I am saddened by, but will definitely go see the next time we drive up there.

This year was the first Christmas I spent away from my family. It was sad because they don’t have any other family down here and spent Christmas by themselves. One day I hope to live in an area between my husband’s family and my family in a big house so that we can all spend the holidays together at one location! Maybe when I win the lottery… All in all, we had a great trip filled with love, memories, and photos and I am grateful to be apart of such a wonderful family. I hope all of you had a great time with your loved ones as well!
