happy christmas

so, this year we're having a quiet family christmas at home. and it's kinda weird. we usually hang out with my mom's family on christmas day. but, they're all in the florida keys. it is really nice to have a quiet day... so far, i'm really liking it! but, i do wish we were on cudjoe key laying by the pool. or key west watching the sunset in mallory square. or looe key snorkeling (which they are doing today). or near mile marker 20 plopped in the middle of a side road watching the stars.

i'm a little sad because i miss all of them. however, it is not overshadowing my day. minneapolis is gorgeous today! and i have a super terrific family. and it's was so fun watching pi's excitement when she woke up this morning. best sister ever, i can't believe this is only our third christmas with her! craaazy.

our house is very christmas-y. stockings and twinkly lights. i love it!

piper got a fish for christmas. i think it's a beta... she still hasn't named it. UPDATE: the fish has been named... wait for it... slipper. ha.

i spent my morning buying music on itunes, thanks to taylor for the wonderful gift of music! taylor swift, michael buble, brad paisley, owl city... yum!

hmm, i'm really excited for church tomorrow night. it feels like it's been so long and i only missed one week...

alright, well there are my christmas morning ramblings. merry christmas, friends!
