The Sunday before Christmas we went to my aunts and did our traditional white elephant gift exchange. Colson ended up with a hamster….thank you cousin Harris. Just what we needed! It was no secret that I intended to let it go in the woods that night after Colson went to sleep. However, I knew that either 1. Colson would get it killed within a week or 2. He would get tired of it if it did last longer than a few weeks and give it away or let it go himself. When we got home that night Calli, under her breath mumbles "Let it go on record that this was the dumbest thing you've ever done"….meaning trying to get the hamster for his gift…I think he stole it from my dad. As expected, Teddy the hamster died on Christmas night. Jax got him and decided we didn't need any more animals and put him to sleep. I didn't take any pictures of our time with my aunt, uncle and cousins.
On Christmas Eve we celebrated at a beautiful Christmas Eve service at our church
Christmas morning we had our traditional monkey bread for breakfast and opened presents at our house before going over to the Schubert's for lunch and presents….and I have no presents from that gathering either.
Christmas came and went….the whole year came and went really! Crazy, busy, fun, time of year!
