Christmas came and went and there are hundreds of pictures of wrapping paper flying & happy kids & grownups watching it all with a smile on our faces.
This was our first time EVER in our marriage to be at our home for Christmas...that's 14 Christmases that we've gone to our hometown to be with our family. This was also my first Christmas ever to not be with my mom & dad. I liked being at our house, especially not having to pack and to get to see the kids on Christmas morning but I like being in our hometown, seeing family, sleeping wherever we fit, and going from house to house...it's what the holidays are all about. And, I like being the kid again because you are home.
It was a little bit crazy around here...with lots of silliness sprinkled in. What else would you expect with 4 kids?
The only hiccup in the celebration was Macy getting sick Christmas eve & then not feeling good for several days after...she spent most of her time sleeping in front of the fire, poor girl. It was quite a while before she felt like playing with any of her toys.
My in-laws spent Christmas eve with us, going to the (PACKED) Christmas eve mass, helping with the Santa duties late into the evening, and then sharing in the joy Christmas day. It was extra special to have them here with us.
Did you know toes taste really good when you get out of the bath? Just thought I'd throw that in here...couldn't pass up a picture with those chubby rolls!
Plus, this is about as exciting as Ava's presents were...we were (mean according to Nana) practical & asked for family to give her diapers for Christmas! It's a gift that's she's still enjoying!
