Christmas 08

Well, I'm finally getting the Christmas post completed. As you know, it's been a whirlwind around here so it took awhile to get this done. Our Christmas was enjoyable, despite the runny noses, coughs, and eventual RSV. We spent Christmas Eve morning with Tim's family, having breakfast and opening gifts for the kids. This year we decided to exchange books and I think it turned out to be perfect. The kids really enjoyed the books they received and spent a good part of the late morning with their noses buried in pages! That evening, after naps for the little ones, we ventured over to my cousins' house to eat more food and have a little fun opening gifts. The kids opened their pjs from Grammy and Grampy and a few things from their cousins. We spent a good amount of time chasing Andrew around, but that's pretty much par for the course. And despite Hailey being on the verge of really getting sick, I think the kids did a great job. The next morning, we welcomed my dad, sister Sarah, nephew Jake, and the newcomer, Jon! My sister Brandi and brother-in-law Tom also stopped by. The kids opened their stockings and gifts and then we ate an early batch of Taquitos-thanks dad! Later on, Tim's sister Lisa and her husband Sunny came over and we pretty much just relaxed and enjoyed the day. Of course, I took way too many pictures so I tried to narrow them down.

I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday and that you find many blessings in the new year!
