This year, we stayed. No more 8 hr car trips, no more 4 hr car trips. Just lots of trips to the grocery store for all our visitors. Being 8 months pregnant, i just wasn't up for all the moving about to different beds and different cites. We put up our first Christmas tree. We spent Christmas eve with Rob and Raquel down the street because we COULD. It was fun to be home for the holidays. I get what all the hype was about.
My parents came down for Christmas day. They gave Lola her first kitchen , which she loves, as well as a load of other gifts. She makes tea for anyone that walks though the door. (Sometimes you get a cookie, but you may also get a weiner so you have to be careful.) She spends alot of time calling people on her phone too.
Sarah, Seb and Elise arrived on Boxing Day and Opa Bill and Grammy Faye arrived for dinner on the 27th. It was suppose to be a lovely ham dinner but, as my stove broke when I was put my bird in the oven on Christmas day, it was BBQ salmon instead. For the record, I think it was a nice change. Shout out to the Madills who let me use their stove on Christmas day so we could have our Cotie/Melis dinner.
We learned to appreciate the joys of Christmas now that Lola is old enough to open presents and get excited about it. Family takes on new meaning when you have kids around.
