Finally I made it to Morristown where I was greeted by my Grandpa and Aunt. We had a relaxing night catching up and eating delicious Boston Creme Pie. The next day (Christmas Eve!) Grandma took me to lunch at my favorite place- Friendlys! It was so nice to just have a grandmother/granddaughter outing!
We all got ready for midnight mass and headed over to St. Virgils to celebrate Christmas! This is definitely my favorite mass by far and although it was a beautiful service I very much missed Transfiguration- my home church. And I was desperately missing my normal family traditions but again I really enjoyed spending the quality time with my grandparents/aunt.
Christmas morning was soon upon us and it was filled with laughter, singing, eating and of course opening presents. After we had opened all our gifts, I brought down my computer to have a Skype Christmas with my family in Acworth. It was so fun and one of the highlights of the day! I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family and I thank God every day for all he's given me.
Thank you so much for the gifts!!
Unfortunately I began getting a horrible cough while I was out of town and by the time I was supposed to leave this morning I was miserable. I made it into the city but had to call into work sick and spent almost all of today in bed sleeping. I did, however, manage to get up and take a few pics of the incredible snow from the blizzard!! It had just started to snow when I left this morning and by mid afternoon it was everywhere! After hearing all about the South getting a White Christmas I was quite jealous but I'm pretty sure I got enough snow today to last a good while!
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and for all of you dealing with winter storms please be safe!
I must get back to sleep so I can get better!
