Just to warn you...this post will have A LOT of photos...I just couldn't pare it down....
I honestly wasn't sure if this Christmas would happen. We found out that Scott wouldn't get to come home until the night before Christmas Eve and had to fly back at 6am, the morning after Christmas. So, that was a great start. On the day I left, I packed my brand new carry on suitcase, hopped the ACE train and hopped on the bus to LaGuardia airport. Now, this was supposed to be a 40 minute ride. I just so happened this was the worst day to go for a flight. AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, 2 MINUTES BEFORE MY FLIGHT DEPARTED, I ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT. Yes, I missed my flight. You know that you have hit your emotional rock bottom when you are calling your husband and and family completely bawling your eyes out in the middle of the airport ticket line. I had tears streaming down my face and cursing the bus drivers of new york, and I didn't care that everyone was staring at me. Praise the Lord, I was able to hop another flight just 2 hours later. God is so good!!!
Once we were in Chillicothe, Christmas was fantastic. We did lots of puppy cuddling, video game playing and present opening and general hanging out. On Christmas Eve, we attended Wesleyan's Candlelight Service and had our annual Christmas Party at my Grandmothers. It was wonderful seeing everyone again.

I cherish these Christmas memories, maybe that's why I post so many photos. Trust me, these aren't even close to as many as I took. Of course, I can't wait until next year!
Stay tuned, for my Christmas morning post.....
