Christmas

Well this Christmas was very unique. David and I celebrated Christmas with the Bibiloni's the evening of the 23rd by attending an AWESOME service @ LCBC, followed by dinner at Symposium. All was lovely, and it was nice to enjoy the family in such a quiet, special way. On the 24th we traveled to Linesville, to spend the remainder of the holiday with the Acklin's. Christmas eve is my FAVORITE day of the year; my parents always have a dinner and then we attend church, and the highlight is always O Holy Night. And we were not disappointed. Christmas morning we awoke early, though weren't allowed to see the tree/gifts until 3pm...It was already getting dark. LOL. By the time we finished (5:30pm), it was dinner time... MMMM Mamma and Papa Acklin never fail in this category!!! We plumped up with a feast fit for royalty.

Since then... family time has been extra special this holiday season. David and I are blessed with a long holiday break this year, and are taking advantage of every minute. By that let me provide examples.... David and Jarrett discover the Xbox, play, play, play, play, eat, play, play. Hours later...

Jordyn & David go to the mall for returns with Mom and Dad Acklin, while Jarrett continues... play play play... We return home, eat, Jarrett and

David stay up until 4am getting to the last level in Call of Duty 5. Wake up this morning; David and Jordyn discover Little Big Planet for the PS3, play, play, eat, play Call of Duty for the PS3, visit family... We return.. and so far it looks like I hear the sounds "David, are you

ready for some unfinished business?" Looks like Jarrett is ready to hit up the Xbox with hopes of beating the game entirely.... Ahh, what else would we do with our time? Ha Ha Ha... we are having a great Christmas holiday and loving having family all in the same house, honestly!!!

From our family to yours; Merry Christmas,

enjoy your family, and peace on earth

(as we attempt to conquer the video game world).
