We had a lovely time visiting with family (and a few friends) in Michigan, but were happy to be home for Christmas. Thanks to everyone who helped to overwhelm our small tree with pretty packages!
We opened stockings in the morning, ate a small breakfast, then went to Mass. Everyone around here goes to Mass on Christmas Eve, so the morning Mass was pleasantly uncrowded. Another plus? The majority of our Christmas morning photos were not taken with us in our pajamas.
Until Christmas Eve, Henry had no idea who Santa was. But he helped us put out milk and cookies for Santa and we told him that Santa would bring presents after he went to sleep. That was all it took. The next morning he came downstairs, saw the tree, and said, “Santa came!” Very cute. We had a lot of fun opening presents, eating cookies, and enjoying the day together. A very merry Christmas! While the kids have spent the last few days playing with all of their new toys (in between visits to the doctor), Matt has been in the basement working on several small kitchen projects and now a new piece of furniture for the living room. Stay tuned!
