merry christmas

we have a close knit family. i appreciate them more and more each day. because we are close, just four of us in the immediate family, we can sometimes tend to get on each other's nerves a bit easier. there are only so many people to absorb your bad or awkward mood. i've really enjoyed my time at home.

here are some of my highlights.
lunch with mom at a tea shoppe in lexington.
hot stone massage with mom (and my mom's suggestion i should get a massage each month, i'll try and pull that one off).
greeting jonathan at the airport.
spirited games of spades with the family.
our christmas tree.
jackson's snoring.
jackson's tradition of sharing my twin bed with me each night.
listening to my parents share their top 5 reasons they love the other.
asking my parents their favorite christmas memories.
