Christmas has come and gone...

It amazes me that all the anticipation that leads up to Christmas day can come and go so fast. I think Christmas should be celebrated all year around. Yeah, it's nice we have a designated day to be with family and friends to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but Jesus is worth a celebration all year long! And then as soon as Christmas ends, we start anticipating for the next event coming; New Years! It's still hard for me to believe that we are already approaching 2010. It feels like it was just the other day we were counting down to 2009. Like I've said many times before; time just seems to fly by so fast and it's so easy to get caught up in the 'hectiness' and fast pace to life. That is why I think it is important to just slow down sometimes and really appreciate the moments.

Anyways, Daniel and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at his parents house with all of his family. There were about 32 people there. We had a great time. The next day (Christmas day), we spent with my family. My mom made a delicious brunch, then we all went to see the movie Sherlock Holmes. It was a pretty good movie, but definitely has it's slow moments. And to be honest, I actually even dozed off for about 10 minutes. First time ever doing that in my life in a movie theater. The ending was good though. Speaking of movies, have any of you seen the movie Avator yet? It is Daniel's new favorite movie and he can't stop talking about it, haha. Anyways, later that day, Daniel and I drove up to Big Bear Mountain to spend the weekend with his family, cousins, aunt and uncles and one of his aunt's cabins. It's a gorgeous cabin! And the snow was beautiful! We went sledding on Saturday, which was so much fun! Just getting the chance to spend time with family is a huge blessing and I've learned you can't take it forgranted.
Hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! :)
