A Very Merry Christmas
Is it finally over? Can I go to bed now?
We had such a great time celebrating George's first Christmas as a family of four, but man am I exhausted!
As per tradition, we spent Christmas Adam with my family and stayed overnight. Victor and Catherine joined us for dinner that evening, then we opened gifts with Grandma and Grandpa in the morning.
They had a big surprise in store for Abigail, and she loved it!
After a morning of gift giving we drove to Enumclaw to spent Christmas Eve at Lucy's, enjoying a relaxing afternoon with extended family.
Archie, Oakley, and Felipe (dogs) joined us and while Abigail was slow to warm up, she enjoyed their company.
The kids slept all the way home, but Abigail had a second wind when we got back and stayed up until 10:30.
I had bought her Christmas PJ's that said "Staying up for Santa"- apparent foresight!
Christmas morning George was up at 7:30am ready to meet Santa. So up we went, caffinating (a Seattle-specific word ;) our way to 9:30am when Abigail finally woke up.
Once she awoke, we had breakfast then went downstairs to see what Santa had brought.
Abigail seemed interested in the gifts but immediately noticed the Yule Log on TV. So instead of tearing into her presents, she kicked off the morning with a few dances.
Such a Bits move :)
We got George an excersaucer and Abigail got a grocery cart, baby carrier, Cinderella Barbie (we've lost our minds) and a Daniel Tiger Trolley.
Of course George's excersaucer was her favorite. Go figure!
Around noon we headed to Mamie and Papa's to celebrate Christmas Day!
Mamie made an amazing dinner and we spent the day opening gifts, eating, and watching home videos- it was a perfectly relaxing end to a very busy holiday season.
I hope you had the merriest of days, spending time with the ones you love.
Merry Christmas!
