One of my favorite days of the year.
This is the first year the boys have had Christmas at home. This was the first year we have had Christmas in this house. This is only the second year I have been at home for Christmas...ever.
Our tradition is to always travel to Spokane for the holidays. However this year, with Christmas being in the middle of the week, it didn't work out that we could go, so we invited my parents and sister here to celebrate with us. I was sad to not be in Spokane, but I was also excited to be at home, too.
And it has been great to be home and have family here with us. What I realized is that it doesn't matter where you are, but it's who you are with that is most important.
We took forever to open gifts because we love to watch other people open their gifts. It's not about the receiving, but the giving! And the boys wanted to stop after they opened a present and play with whatever it was. The living room was quite a mess by the time we were done.
Karin and Mom made a yummy egg casserole for breakfast and then we had a ham tonight. We've watched two movies and just enjoyed hanging out and being together. The boys never made it out of their pajamas!
Enjoying every moment!
