.baby's first Christmas

We considered having a peaceful Christmas in our new home with our new baby for the first time this year. Sure it would’ve been nice and quiet. But, you know, I don’t really want a quiet Christmas. It’s always so much fun to have family around to play with. That’s what makes it special for me.

Maybe next year.

On Christmas Eve we ate and played games and frosted cookies then went to look at lights before the pajama elf showed up. You know, the usual wonderful traditions.

Tam and Jadey were with his fam, and Tara and Tom were in Hawaii (where they live), so it was a smaller group this year.

We had the BIGGEST surprise EVER on Christmas morning when Tara and Tom showed up at the house! We were all in total shock since we expected to be talking to them on Skype from Hawaii that morning.

Tam and Jadey came over too and we had the whole family together again.

We love our family and had such a wonderful Christmas. I hope yours was just as great.
