Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I am so behind on blogging. I guess this happens once the kids are home on Christmas break and you are so busy being occupied with them.
Where to begin? I can say we had a wonderful Christmas season. It is so bittersweet to me it just goes by so fast. You build up all this anticipation getting your house ready with beautiful decorations, finding the perfect gifts for your children, finding the perfect Christmas photo to use as your Christmas card, listening to Christmas music 24 /7, spending days at Target for weeks! And then it's over!
We celebrated the holidays with both sides of the families - we hosted Ron's family at our house the Sunday before Christmas and we celebrated with my family on Christmas eve at Rachel's house. Always have a great time with my family good food and lots of laughs. This year my parents were in India so we Skyped with them at the Young's, Liza and Brian spent the weekend at the farm. We were home on actual Christmas and it was wonderful. The kids slept in, we opened gifts, made a big brunch, a had a quick visit with our dear friends Sarah and Brian. We then had a wonderful dinner of prime rib - it's great to eat your dinner in your PJ's. All in all we had a wonderful Christmas spending time with family but also the four of us spending time together!


Here are some pictures of our festivities:
