The Prodigal Blogger Returns...with presents! (At least a few pictures of them...)

It already seems like Christmas was about two months ago, but I wanted to share a few pictures of how ours went.

I was able to take off work the whole week of Christmas--joy to the world, for sure! :) We went to watch my sisters play basketball (they play for Arkansas Tech) on the Sunday before Christmas. My Nana and Paw Paw came to the game, then we all went back to my parents to do Christmas with them. (I HATE doing "Christmas" on any day but Christmas, just so you know--I'm such a brat, but I can't help it!) Anyway, here are a few pictures from that night. Tilly is wearing her Tech basketball shirt--so cute!

Here she is in the hat Nana and Paw Paw gave her. It had matching gloves too!

Not exactly sure what Tilly thinks, but I'm pretty sure her face here says, "get the camera out of my face and give me more presents!"

Here is my Paw Paw sitting beside me. I'm sure we are watching Tilly. You know she is the center of attention around grandparents and great-grandparents!Here is my Nana with my dad (her son-in-law.) She was clearly very excited to receive a new digital camera!

After our Sunday before Christmas events, I was able to get several things done around the house. I even stayed up ALL Tuesday night wrapping presents, making presents, and taking care of some chores. Christmas Eve was somewhat of a blur. As you can see, Tilly was a big help with the laundry...

On Christmas Eve, we went to my parents to do our Christmas with them.

We had a fun night! Once we finished exchanging gifts, we did some prank Christmas carolling. Let me explain. We knew some friends were having a really big Christmas party. I would imagine they had somewhere around 30 people there. Anyway, we all went to their house, got out of the cars, stood right out of their front window (where they could see us as their blinds were open) and sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" in the most awful, off-key, shrill way you can imagine. It was so much fun, and was very well received! Maybe you had to be there.

Here is my sister Ashley as she is about to open her gift from her fiance. Hmm...I wonder what it is??

Here is what my dad gave Tilly for Christmas. Very interesting.

I'm not sure that why Tilly is holding this bag, but I know she didn't get anything from Victoria's Secret!
My favorite Christmas present:

Sadly, for some reason, we didn't take any pictures on Christmas day. I'm sure someone did, and if there are any good ones, I'll post them. MY camera was MIA for about a week beginning on Christmas day. We did Christmas with the Warfords, and had such a fun time. We played games (which is quite the Christmas Day tradition) and had a hilarious time. Since I don't have any pictures from their house, here is a picture of Eric and Tilly at his aunt and uncle's house a few days ago.

This is what Eric fondly refers to as "The Titanic." I'm not sure which one of them enjoys it more. I do, however, know that it makes me a nervous wreck!
