It’s Christmas Eve and it's finally here! We are on our way to Grandmother's house. We went to my mom's house on the 23rd and opened presents with everybody because people had to work. I don't have any pictures of that. We did the nativity, we ate clam chowder as per tradition, and we opened pajamas.
I ended up sleeping until a beautiful 5:00 a.m. until I got woken up by Mark, who was so excited I thought he was going to turn inside out. It was a lovely Christmas morning and one for the books. I surprised Merril with a trip to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on Groundhog's Day and I have been so excited about it for 6 months. He was really surprised! Yay! It was a perfect Christmas morning!
Maxine made this for me for Christmas. I saw this painting in the Washington D.C. temple when I was there for the open house and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a print of it. So Maxine just decided to make a reproduction! How amazing! I cried. Like always. So sweet of her. It was spot on. Thumbs up. Love you guys!
