A Four Christmases situation.

We are home from all the Christmas festivities or Holicraze as I like to call it. I feel like we have been around the world, but we got to see everyone and Finley had a fabulous first Christmas! We have unpacked the car, but now the house looks like a tornado hit it. I'm not going to think about that today, I'll think about that tomorrow (Gone with the Wind);) Finley got lots of good stuff and Joey and I got way more than we deserved. I got perfume, clothes, money, an iPod Nano, jewelry and stuff for the house. Joey got clothes, a Bose stereo system, money, shoes and movies. I can't even begin to list what Finley got. She is a blessed little girl! Christmas was a whole new experience with Finley here. It was so much better than it has ever been! I'm already excited about next year, because she will know what's going on and we can do even more fun Christmasy things. To give a quick run-down of our Christmas activities...we drove to Bham Tuesday morning, went to dinner with sorority sisters, their babies and hubbies Tuesday night at CPK, went shopping at the Summit Wednesday, went shopping again at the Galleria on Thursday, went to Christmas Eve service then went to Joey's grandparents house for Dirty Santa and dinner, had Christmas at my mom's on Christmas Day, then went to Joey's parents house for Christmas with them. The day after Christmas we went to my step-sisters house to see my dad and step-mom and have Christmas and brunch with them, then we stopped in Prattville on the way home to see my cousin and his wife and kids and my other cousin and his wife. Joey hunted with my cousins for a while that evening. We stayed there longer than expected, but had a great time. Finley loves to play with her cousins and she slept the whole way home. We got home around midnight. Today we are putting stuff away and putting her toys together. Joey and I are about to watch The Hangover while Finley naps. Whew! We are glad to be home, but of course wish were "at home" in Birmingham.
