There was that thing we call Christmas that went down December 25th. Yeah, it was a blast! My favorite part? Ohh, I would have to say being able to be there when my niece and nephew got up Christmas morning to see what Santa brought. That's when we found out Adyson is truly a Russell child. Ryken wanted to run into the living room but was told he couldn't go until Adyson was ready too. Turns out she didn't wanna get out of bed. She wanted to go back to sleep. Ha, she must take after her Aunt Alsie :) We finally dragged her out of bed and got her in there to open presents but she was pretty much out of it for the first few she opened. There were some she just tore the paper and guess she forgot to finish opening the box. Poor child was sleeeeepy! Ryken exclaimed that he got everything that he asked Santa for even the items that he added at the last minute (my sister had to send a last minute request to Santa because he remembered he wanted an Etch-A-Sketch)
I got some pretty cool stuff myself including my new 40" flat screen! That sucker was promptly installed in my bedroom that afternoon! Thanks Mom and Pop! Overall it was another great Christmas with my family. Thankful for getting to spend it with them for another year!
I certainly enjoyed my 4 day weekend and as any other weekend I spent most of it sleeping. Yep, now you see where Adyson gets her fondness of sleep from! Fun part was I got another 4 day weekend the following week thanks to The City of Northport for two days for New Years! We certainly appreciated that! The residents in Northport, not so much! Ohh well I think most of them survived!
We also got together with my Mom's side of the family over the New Years weekend but were missing some of our family due to sickness :( boooo! Maybe next time we will be able to get everyone there together at one time!
Nothing much eventful happened from New Years break up until about January 7th. Never thought I would be excited for a Monday but man I was! Finally the National Championship game! Alabama, playing what we all thought was overrated, Notre Dame for the title! It was being hyped up as one of the biggest games in a long time and we were ready. Luckily Bama came out playing dang good and showing them little Irish kids how the SEC does football! Turns out they really were overrated! And once again Alabama took home the Crystal! Thats the 3rd one in 4 years which is very impressive! It makes me proud to be from Tuscaloosa and proud to be raised a true Alabama fan! I've been there during the ups and downs and I think we should just stick with the ups!

The domination that Alabama has had in football is now being called a Dynasty and for dang good reason! But I better not say too much, I know as Saban says only celebrate for 48 hours and then the PROCESS continues and its time to focus on the next step! The road to 16 starts now!
