Christmas is 364 days away!

We had a very relaxing holiday. We drove up to the grandparents on Christmas Eve and attended the Christmas Eve service at Christ Community. We saw some familiar faces there which was great. Christmas day we woke up and lounged around until lunch. The kids played with Nana and Papa most of the morning. After lunch and after Avie ate all of Papa's bread we opened presents. This is the first time Haven realized that underneath wrapping paper is a wonderful surprise. We had to keep reminding him there were more presents to open because he would get so wrapped up (no pun intended) in the toy he just opened. Avie did not get it, but she did enjoy eating some wrapping paper. She was thrilled when we opened a porcelain doll. She was a bit confused when I did not let her carry it around. She gave it lots of kisses before I set it where she could not reach it. We headed over to Tiff's family in the evening where we opened more presents and spent time with everyone. We all got a lot of great gifts and are already enjoying them. But the best part was several relaxing days with family. Mike and I both have time off from work until January 5th! We are having friends over for another huge meal in the coming week and more friends coming over next week for dinner. Otherwise we are staying at home and enjoying quality time with each other. Can't think of a better way to spend our time off.
