Radio silence for a few days while we got through the Christmas craziness. All in all, I’m super impressed with my girls. They handled the craziness like the rockstars they are.
On Christmas eve we were invited to our neighbours for dinner. The meal was delicious as always and they gave Lucy a singing Elsa doll which was a big hit! We seriously have the best neighbours who treat my children like grandkids. They are probably the best part of small town living.
Christmas morning was spent at our house opening presents. This was the first year that Lucy really understood Christmas and she was so excited. I bought her a bunch of dress up stuff second hand and she’s been wearing her princess dresses for days now, so I’d say that was a good plan.
We spent Christmas afternoon at my parents and stayed the night. Lucy only napped for about 10 minutes on the drive, so I was counting on the day being a disaster, but she actually pulled through fairly well. She crashed hard at night and was quite tired yesterday too. She even fell asleep on the drive home with her snack still in her hand.
My kids and us were spoiled. We have such a wonderful family. I absolutely love spending time with everyone and am so blessed that we all are close and enjoy family time. With us living an hour and a half from my parents and my sister living a bit further, it’s not often enough that we get all of us together at once.
I hope all of you enjoyed your Christmas!
