Christmas Highlights...

This was our first year to celebrate Christmas at our house. Usually we go to either of the grandparents houses but this year we thought it would be nice to start our own traditions and have Christmas at home. I was a little nervous about it, since we are usually with siblings and extended family, I thought it might be weird not having so many people there to share it with us but it actually went really well! It felt just like Christmas (imagine that)! And the grandparents came to visit us. Santa brought Little Man a new bike, which he loves...it's just a little too big, but at the rate he is growing it won't be long till it is just right.

I was telling Vim that Christmas is kind of like a wedding to me. There is all this preparation and build up and then before you know it, it has come and gone. All the decorations have been put away, the lights in the yard, the tree, the stockings, the presents...it really is kind of sad but the good thing about Christmas, unlike a wedding, is that next year we get to do it all over again! (Vim also pointed out that a wedding cost more than Christmas--- leave it to my husband to think about it from a financial perspective). Well I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

(since being with Vim, it is not Christmas without pulling out the guns)
