Merry Christmas everyone!
We hope that everyone had as nice and as blessed of a Christmas as we did. We were very lucky to be able to spend the past two days with family celebrating and enjoying the season.
Last night, as we do with every Christmas Eve, we headed to Pat's dad's house for the evening. The kids love spending time with grandpa and Aunt Liz and we always have such a nice time catching up and sharing the night before Christmas together. Pat's dad makes a delicious dinner and we get to spend the night talking and watching Christmas movies and eating lots of delicious food! And then the kids get to open up their presents and put on their Christmas PJs. It's a really nice night we look forward to each year.
After spending the evening at Grandpa's, we usually head home but this year we headed to Grandma and Pop-pop's. Each of the kids has woken up at Grandma and Pop-pop's house on their first Christmas and since it was the girls' first Christmas we thought it was only fitting to carry on the tradition. We got to the house and the kids and Daddy went to bed while Mommy went to work finishing up some last minute Christmas prep with Grandma.
When everyone woke up on Christmas morning it was clear that Santa had come and it was also clear that all of us are very blessed and lucky this year, and every year! Mady and Carrington had no clue what was going on but Santa left a few things for them, regardless. Nicholas and Addison, though, were so excited to see what Santa brought them! They opened their presents and Nicholas even took a break to hand out a whole bunch of presents. It was so wonderful to see how much the kids were enjoying the morning and Christmas, that was better than any gift I could have received!! After presents, we enjoyed yummy breakfast and the kids went off to play with some of their new toys while the adults went off to recover!!
The rest of day was spent eating, playing with toys, and snuggling babies! Not a bad way to spend Christmas!
We are very lucky and grateful for such a wonderful day and year!
Merry Christmas to you and yours from ours!
