Christmas eve we left Jacksonville and headed home. We had a minor delay in Atlanta wherein we were on the plane and buckled and ready to go, and then told to deplane. Luckily the short time between getting of the plane and boarding a new one gave us time to get another coffee and a bagel. We got into Memphis a mere half hour after our planned arrival! We headed to Jackson.Mississippi for a day with my in-laws and my Loves large family. We napped, ate, unwrapped ridiculously generous presents, and had a wonderful time. Returning home at a little past midnight on Christmas morning was glorious and so exciting. Sleeping in our own bed! Seeing our cats! My insanely wonderful parents left an early present of a GIANT pointsettia to brighten up our living room and provide some cheer. It was so fun waking in to our house and seeing this enormous bright red plant.
Christmas morning we had permission to sleep in (yay) but the promise of homemade beignets, coffee, and bacon, was too much of a draw. We lounged and ate and unwrapped amazingly thoughtful and special gifts. Things chosen with such care and such generosity that it almost broke my heart. We napped, ate essentially all day, and just hung out. It was wonderful. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful family who is so fun and loving.
