Tonight was a great night, we started the evening by attending the 4:30 pm church service with Great Grandma Aiken; Grandma & Grandpa Aiken; Aunt Nikki & Uncle jeff; Jacob & Lucas; Benjamin & myself. Unfortunately, Brian & Brady had to stay at home because they are the last ones to get the awful flu that has rushed through our whole Aiken side of the family during the past week. After church we all headed back to the Dice's house for a yummy dinner & lots of gift giving!!! Christmas is going to be extra special this year watching the boys all together. Tonight was bitter sweat for us because we have to say good-bye to grandma & grandpa for 2-months as they head to Maui early tomorrow morning...we love you & we will miss you so much this winter!!! Although tonight was lots of fun with my family it definitely was a bit incomplete with 2 of my 3 favorite boys missing...we love you daddy & Brady & we hope you feel better soon.

Tonight we celebrated Christmas with the Seeley side of our family. Brian, the boys, & I headed over to Aunt Vivian & Uncle Marcel's house in Bellbrook for a delicious dinner & lots of laughs. We played musical chairs; which consisted of lots of "friendly competition" and "stealing" each other's christmas gifts (all in good fun of course!!!) After I beat the pants off the rest of the family in musical chairs (HA!), we moved onto opening more gifts, and playing many rounds of Catch-phrase...needless to say, we had one of the BEST Seeley Family Christmas celebrations ever!!! Thank you Vivian & Marcel we had a great time with all of you tonight & look forward to seeing you again very soon...
