Christmas 2009

Wild and crazy and non stop, that was this Christmas.  I felt a little like I was meeting myself coming and going all weekend and was ready to come back to work to get a little rest.  However it was wonderful!!  The candlelight service at Calvary on Christmas Eve was gorgeous with the church lit only by the candles in our hands.  People can say was they will about battery operated candles but I love just good ole regular wax candles, even if they do drip and burn you and make you hit random high notes in the middle of Silent Night.  I wore jeans to the service, but I think Elise and Marisa had the right idea, as they came in their pajamas and looked absolutely adorable!

All of the friends exchanged presents which of course was fun.  My friends are entirely to generous and incredible!  I of course was so excited to give Robin his tie.  I am still not sure what possessed me to get his a Clemson tie, but for that smile I suppose I can suck it up.  This picture however is to funny for words.  I couldn't stop laughing at Nikki and Clemson in a Bowl Game makes Robin entirely to giddy.

I spent Christmas Eve night with Nana and Lucy for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning festivities.  The taco soup was incredible as were the cinnamon rolls on Friday morning.

We opened presents and I got money towards a new computer (I can't wait!!!), and one of my favorite things, a new Gamecock key ring.  It's so pretty and goes we will my new Gamecock earrings!  I suppose Santa rewards those who love people enough to buy ugly Clemson stuff :)

After Christmas morning was wrapped up (or unwrapped) I went to BB's and we went to Charlotte to see Aunt Dena, Uncle Don, and Amy and Ashley.  We had a yummy lunch and fun opening presents and then us girls went to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunk: The Squeakquel.  I am now a huge fan of the Chipettes!!!

It was a really fun girls outing and it was great to spend some holiday time with my cousins!
