And to all a goodnight

And here it is, Christmas Eve. After a month of preparation, Christmas carols, Sesame Street Christmas Movies, The Grinch, Snow, Elves, Santa, stories of Jesus and the mother Mary, the REAL meaning of Christmas, cookies, family, friends, wrapping, cards, lights, trees, red, and green.

The Rawlings family celebrated our 1st Christmas Eve as a family of four. We celebrated the day with great friends, wonderful family, tasty food, and unforgettable memories. Stef and Bobby were here until the wee hours of the morning, so we rang in the day with laughter and humorous stories. Then this afternoon Liz, John, and Delilah came over for Christmas Eve dinner. In the evening we connected with GiGi, Poppy, and Pap Marks via the new web cams to spend our Christmas with Jon's family. It was a truly enjoyable day and we are so blessed with our amazing friends (both old and new), and our beautiful families.

Merry Christmas to all! God Bless :)

"Dear Santa,

I've been good all year... Well, most of the year."

And then he goes and steals one of Santa's cookies!
