Our Christmas

Oh my.  This is Christmas.  Actually, this was three days before Christmas, but I was referring to the expressions of delight on my children’s faces.

Grammy and Papa, along with Ali, Darren, and cousins Vance, Madison, and Lucas came to visit and enjoy a Dutch Baby brunch with us for a pre-Christmas celebration.  And what a special prequel to Christmas it was.

Which brings me to Christmas Eve.  Leah was back from Seattle, so I had both of my sisters with me.  That itself was my gift.  That and just being with my cute little family.

Christmas Day was solidly everything I had hoped it would be.

Opening gifts was followed shortly by Baked French Toast and hours of playtime in pajamas.

Closed the day with catching “Rise of the Guardians” in the theater and going to a Chinese restaurant (my family’s Christmas traditions from growing up).  We hope yours was just as merry!
