holiday hangover

We peas made it through the holidays all in one pea-ce! We were so blessed to spend Christmas with King Pea's side of the family in Tennessee and Georgia. It was way too short, but so fabulous! Grandpa and Paula Pea were the best hosts, as always! We spent time in Georgia with our family peas that we haven't seen in way too long. Our girlie peas were sweet and wonderful. We couldn't be more blessed! Here's my pea-utiful family! We were missing a few, but it's joyous that we were together! And Grandpea Tim's eyes are open! Yay! 

We then went to good ol' Hale Center for New Year's Day/Christmas! I didn't quite get my fill of my niece peas! I needed several more days of them! Rylee Pea was so sweet. She is four, and Christmas with a four year old cannot be beat! She was precious and so thankful for all of her gifts. And she has the cutest pea-rsonality! She's funny like her Daddy, but she definitely gets her sweetness from her Momma! Preslee Pea was a joy! I don't think she spent more than two minutes *not* being held! I missed the baby girl smell even as we drove home! Nina and Papa D made the whole weekend wonderful! If only King Pea had been there....


And miracle of all miracles...I got to see my two best childhood friends! AND their baby girlies! I may have two teenage girl peas, but they have baby girl peas! Cody is my first best friend I ever had. I could tell you really funny stories about us growing up (but I'll spare you this time!). He and his beautiful and sweet wife have baby twin girls! Carlie and Sophie are just precious! 


My Cindy is my best friend from junior high and high school! I love her like a sister! She has *three* baby girls, who are all pea-utiful! I wish I would have seen her under better circumstances, but I wouldn't trade those few minutes for anything! I miss my awesome friends!


Last weekend is when I had planned on having my blog updated since it was the first after our travels. But, Queen Pea had a head cold and I pretty much relaxed. Even as I type this I am looking at our half-untrimmed tree! 


Our Christmases were chaotic, beautiful, over too soon, and blessed beyond our dreams. I ate too much, gained too much, and now it's time for normal life. Yeah, right!


Merry Christmas! It's never too early or late to celebrate our Lord's birth!
