We had our first Christmas at home this year. Usually, we spend Christmas Eve night at my parents' house, then open presents there, eat a nice breakfast and go to Brian's mom's in the afternoon. This year is was all different. Since Brian's mom lives near us, she and his sister came to our house for breakfast, we then went to open presents at my parents' house and had dinner there. It was all different. The best different was being at our home when the kids woke up and wanted to know if Santa had eaten all the cookies. Claire who is almost 4 really got into it this year so that made it fun for all of us! Elliot who is just recently 2 loved it too! By the end of the day and after opening presents three times, it did get a bit exhausting for us all...

Today is our sixth anniversary and our kids are asleep in bed sick with colds and we're about to have hamburgers and French sparkling wine to celebrate! Too life, love and as much peace as is possible for us and for others as life transpires...

Happy New Year!  ¶ 6:19 PM
