Christmas Eve

On christmas eve we always go to my grandmas house and do gifts there and then eat finger foods. Ansleigh found her hippo from grandma early and it was so cute she loved him though she then watched her new Barbie movie and they just cuddled. Then we went to moms and her and Andrew put the cookies out for Santa and the reindeer food out and then we read a christmas story before bed. Love starting these new family traditions with her.

So we spent the night at my moms house on christmas Eve and Santa comes there that morning. Ansleigh was so excited she said she heard jingle bells on the roof and went right to sleep loved this age. She slept great and I didnt sleep at all no idea why so we woke her up about 630 to open presents and see what Santa brougbt. My mom got it all on video and when she came down she was so excited santa knew was Bouncy the dog was and that he got him for her it was so cute I searched high and low for that dog and then she got a new bike which she loved. She got a new barbie car, the tangled barbie and some new movies and books from santa. Then from mom her favorite gift was her kids ipad its so cool. Then she loved her lalaloopsy doll from my brother. After we got super spoiled there we loaded up and headed south to my dads house for more presents. Her favorites there were her stompees shoes and then her new tv for her room so spoiled. She got lots more barbies and a new keyboard too she was very spoiled this year. We ate a nice brunch and then headed home for her to go off to her dads and I unloaded all our goods and was off to my aunts for a nice low key night of beer cheese soup and some family time by the fire. We were so spoiled and it was seriously one of the best christmases this age was just the best for Ansleigh. Hope you all had a merry christmas as well!

5. Who was God to you in 2012? (and if He was nothing to you - please be honest. You don't need to give sunday school answers. I want to be able to pray that He will be something to you this year!)
God taught me a lot this year esp at the end but most importantly everything happens for a reason and that certain people are put into your life for a reason like the dominican sisters all the ones I have met through school have truly been amazing and a breath of fresh air! I always got to see how truly amazing my church family is they were really there for me and my family when I lost my job it means so much to me and I have made some of the best new friends.

Here is to 2013 its already started out to be one heck of a year!!!
