This weekend has been a wonderful time for our family. Jeff had Christmas Eve off, so we did a little last minute shopping and then some stuff around the house. We were wrapping the last couple of presents after midnight Christmas morning. That made us think of our parents doing the same thing when we were little kids. What a wonderful connection we felt to them at that moment. We miss them all.
Christmas morning was much more fun for Isabella this year. We had breakfast together and then opened presents. Well, Isabella opened the presents. She opened every present, didn't even much care what the present was until they were all opened. haha. She was like a whirlwind, running all over playing with the wrapping paper. She was such a delight to behold...a stark contrast to last year when she was terrified of all the presents. Riley slept through all of it. He is like his daddy and sister: he can sleep through pretty much anything.
After Isabella took a rest with her new Winnie the Pooh movies (thanks, Uncle Travis), we headed over to Grandma's for more presents, stockings, and dinner. Isabella tried ham this year! She wasn't thrilled with it, but she ate it. My brother and my godmother got me a new chandelier for our dining room. We've had the stock one that came with the house since we moved in, and I hate it! It's tacky. haha. The new one is beautiful.
After Isabella went to bed, Travis, Jeff and I watched a movie. Yesterday was just a wonderful family bonding day. It was heart warming. It felt so nice to spend time together. Usually we are all doing our own thing.
I hope everyone had a wonderful, happy Christmas.
