Merry Christmas! We have had a fun and busy December. It has been filled with traveling, shopping, and lots of fun. We have enjoyed getting ready for the holidays around our house. Garrin has learned about the many fun things to do at Christmas--decorating, baking cookies, wrapping presents, movies, music, and much more! It has been fun to see Garrin's curiousity about everything. He has added many holiday words to his vocabulary!
We began our Christmas festivities with Papa Kim and Mimi Karin. We had a fun visit at their house. Garrin loved his new "Choo, Choo!" He has played with it nonstop. He even lets Elmo and his friends ride along in the coal car.
On Christmas Eve, we went to church and had pizza with Nana "D" and Papa "D". It was a beautiful candlelight and communion service that was a good reminder of what the season is all about. Garrin loved trying to sing along!
We awoke to a white Christmas on Christmas morning. We stayed in our pajamas all morning as we enjoyed spending time as a family. We opened the gifts Santa left in our stockings and then had our traditional Christmas breakfast (Quiche, Cinnamon Rolls, and Fruit Salad). After breakfast, it was on to more presents. Garrin was very interested in the red wooden fire engine Santa left until Dad got his new garage all set-up. Then it was off to the races for the little people!
We are looking forward to Christmas evening with Grammie, Papa Steve, Aunt Ju-Ju, and Uncle Coo-Coo! It will be a snowy drive, but we are ready to relax at the lake!
When we return home, it will be our final Christmas stop with Aunt Rachelle, Uncle Terry, Ashlyn, and Brayden. We can't wait to see everyone and celebrate!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
