Since Grandma & Grandpa Aiken are "off to Maui" for the winter months & Nikki, Jeff, Jake & Luke are in Florida for the holiday week...Ben lucked-out by sharing a "special slumber-party" with Great Grandma @ her house (grandma & grandpa's house)...just the 2-of them:) I am not sure which one of them enjoyed themselves more...Benjamin or grandma! I am SO HAPPY that my boys have been able to share so many wonderful memories with my grandma, just like I always have. She is definitely one of the strongest, most honest, totally selfless & genuinely loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my life...I can't think of any better or more admirable qualities for my children to learn from. I will forever remember all of the fantastic memories that I have shared with my grandma over the years & I know my boys will always cherish the ones that they have shared with her as well. We love you grandma more than you'll ever know:)

Although the day after Christmas can sometimes be a bit of a "let-down", this year was definitely an exception for me:) Stacy, Vince & Graham are still in town, so they came over today along with Michelle, Zack & little baby Samantha. It is always crazy, but so much FUN when we get all of the kids together...We did our annual gift exchange & played with all of the boys awesome new Christmas toys together!!! YAY!!! I love it whenever Stacy comes home to visit us, but it also makes me a little sad because I realize over-and-over again just how much I love & miss her & her adorable little boys...Vince & Ben (our 2-oldest sons) can definitely still pass as brothers with their cute little curls:) Samantha Yost is almost 4-months old now & she is as beautiful as ever with all of her thick dark brown hair...seeing her tiny little bare-feet made my day, thanks Michelle:) We missed our favorite little-big girl, Skylar & of course Ben's other little buddy Luke...we are looking forward to playing with everyone again very soon!!! THANKS FOR COMING OVER & WE LOVE YOU ALL:)

I am forever grateful to my boys for allowing me the opportunity to relive Christmas through their innocent little eyes...the true meaning of Christmas is the pure unconditional love of a child. I feel like the luckiest mom in the whole wide world & I will never allow myself to forget that as long as I live. I hope you had a fantastic holiday with all of your families as well this year:)

Tonight we had our "Annual Christmas Eve Dinner" @ The Dice's:) After a great church service @ South Brook, with The Aiken side of the family, we enjoyed a delicous meal courtesy of Aunt Nikki:) After dinner we all had a blast watching the boy's excited little faces as they opened their new gifts one-by-one. Although Brady & Lucas still required a little help from their BIG brothers, they are both really starting to understand the idea of presents for the first time & it was so cute!!! Christmas Eve is always a little bitter sweet for our family, because Grandma & Grandpa Aiken leave early Christmas morning for Maui...we all miss them terribly for the winter months that they are away!!! Merry Christmas & Thanks For A Fabulous Holiday Celebration:)
