Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Mark, JB and I are at home with our families in Mobile. We drove down Tuesday night to see everyone. We had dinner with Mark's grandparents last night - after a Christmas Candlelight with our family. Today we are doing lunch with my parents, another lunch with Mark's mom and stepdad and then dinner with Mark's dad and stepmom. It's busy, but we're blessed that all of our immediate family all live in the same city. We've already opened gifts at my parent's house. And as always, they did way too much. :)

My mom, sister and I always go shopping the day after Christmas. I think Mark is going to be a sport and join in with us this year! We're planning to do the Eastern Shore Centre this year, as we did last year. It's got all of our favorite stores...Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Dillards, Ann Taylor Loft, etc.

We'll head back to Tuscaloosa on Sunday afternoon and then head back down to the coast on Wednesday. We're planning to go to my parent's river house for the New Years weekend. It's flooded over there right now with all the rain we're getting, but hopefully the waters will recede and we'll get to spend a relaxing weekend watching some football!

Speaking of football...we're getting very excited about Pasadena! We're flying out on Tuesday the 5th and we'll fly home on the following Friday. I've never been to California and it's been 5 years since Mark has been out there. Lots to see and do...including watching Alabama play Texas in the National Championship!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with their family. We are all so very blessed!
