Merry Christmas

Christmas always comes and goes so fast. At the end of the day I always feel a little sad, and disappointed. Not sure why, because we are blessed beyond words, but this is just how it goes.

We had a busy weekend of family, food and presents. On Christmas Eve morning we decided to open presents just the 3 of us. We had planned for that since Christmas morning/day can be a bit crazy! Of course Eli woke up at 6am, ready to rock n roll. I was not happy, but up we all got to open presents. We got Eli a little train table, and I had Andy put it together the night before. It was partially wrapped up, so when Eli got up in the morning and saw it he was very excited. He hasn't stopped playing with the trains. It was a nice morning together as a family.

Then Christmas Eve we went to my parents place, had supper, and opened our presents as a family. This is tradition in my parents house as my dad usually has to work on Christmas Day or Christmas night, so opening presents on Christmas Eve has become the norm, and I love it! It just works! Eli got so many presents and was totally spoiled! Now what to do with all the stuff! I went through last night and sorted the toys because we have so many things he doesn't play with that really are just taking up space! Feels good to purge!

Christmas morning we went off to my Brother & Sister in laws to spend time with Andy's family. We had breakfast, coffee, and also opened presents... again. We were spoiled again. The only downside to this morning was that Eli has come down with a cold, and really hasn't been feeling 100%, this makes for a whiny 2.5 year old, a dry but very runny nose, and a very over tired kid. Because my dad had to work Christmas night, we had a small dinner before he had to head out for work, and watch Mater Tales, like from the movie cars? A DVD Eli got for Christmas. As long as Eli is happy the rest of us are happy... funny how that happens!

Andy has this week off, and Im looking forward to spending time with my boys and relaxing. Hopefully Eli's cold will get better soon and we can venture out and take him swimming or something like that!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and were blessed beyond words! Ill post some Christmas pictures soon!
