This holiday was like any other in my family...gifts, fellowship & FOOD!!! This year, we hosted both sides of my family for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner, and that's why our kitchen is filled with leftovers and desserts. My stomach hurts just THINKING about all the food that's in there...

It has been kind of different from other years for me. I've always enjoyed time with family, but I guess now that I'm older and see my aunts and uncles getting older, I find myself drawn to being around more often. Events in my life are slowly but surely transitioning me into that next phase of adulthood. Time definitely does fly...
