Christmas Arrives!















Well, its almost the end of February and I'm finally taking some time to catch up on the blog. Thank you to all of my other blogging stay at home moms who keep me inspired.



Christmas was different this year. Not bad, just very different. We decided not to buy gifts and just send gift cards to our out of town family. It felt extremely inpsersonal, but saved me a ton of time and money in shipping.



Once Christmas arrived we enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve service at our church. It was so beautiful and truly breathtaking. When we returned home, we put Maddy to bed and began the inevitable Santa duties. It was so fun and the dogs conveniently ate the cookies we left out for Santa, so it worked out perfectly. Christmas morning was filled with family, fun and lots of laughs. Maddy was amazed by the gifts and we had a beautiful dinner with Mom, Merritt and Tony. It was over before you know it, but always good when the hussle bussle is behind you.
