December 2008-Christmas


Christmas was wonderful! Hannah is at the absolute perfect age and Joshua is just content being right with her! Aaron & Joshua were able to go to Minnesota a few days before Christmas and spend some much needed quality time with his family, and celebrate his brother's college graduation. Then we were all back together in Missouri to spend the holidays with my extended family. Santa made a trip to our Christmas Eve celebration and since Hannah was the only one interested, she was his official helper-she was so excited. Then we were able to go with family to their church's midnight service and although I missed the tradition Midnight Mass, it was nice to be able to celebrate Jesus' birth surrounded by family.

Christmas day we never got out of our pajamas, which is a first for my whole family as we are usually busy going from one place to another. And I've gotta say-it was terrific! The kids got way too much stuff (of course!) but the time with family was awesome. We even added an untraditional card game later that weekend and it was so much fun. The only thing that could make it better is if we could see all our family at the same time, but other than that I don't think it could have been any better!
