Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

At this time of year, I have to always steal the line from N'Sync's Christmas song--Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! What a wonderful/classic song! What a wonderful Christmas The Carlton's had this year, too!  I feel like for a month--we run non-stop to find the perfect gift for the ones we love the most.  Then in a flash of a light, the day is done and we're trying to catch our breath from the wonderful Christmas day!

Craig and I are so blessed to be surrounded by both of our families. Here is a quick run down on our Christmas extravaganzas:  We had dinner and gift exchanging at Craig's family on Christmas Eve followed by the Christmas Eve Service at church.  Today, we exchanged presents with each other, gift exchanged with my parents/sister and then attended our Christmas Day church service.  After church, we went back to my sisters for gift exchange with the WHOLE family and lunch!  It sure was a blast getting to spend the day with our nephew, Brayden; he sure was fun this year!  We then, went to visit and see Craig's family at his parents house.  Can you tell all we do is run around on Christmas day? I definitely can't complain because we're extremely lucky to have both sets of our parents around and able to spend time with everyone.

Now, we're sitting on the couch trying to catch our breath and relax for what's left of Christmas day, as well as thinking of all the blessings we have in our life! Nothing can beat spending time with family and the ones you love most.  I hope you all are taking a minute to relax and reflect on the any blessings you have in your life!

We hope you all have had a VERY Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Carlton's and

Happy Birthday Jesus!
