As it should be, Christmas Eve was spent surrounded by loved ones. We began the day with brunch at our house for Robin's family. We all enjoyed the delicious meal and watching the children open presents. Throughout the day we tracked Santa on the computer using Norad and just enjoyed each other's company. Christmas Eve night was a bit quieter since only Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al remained with us to celebrate. It's hard to believe that last year at this time, we were missing Lauren so much, and really had only learned about our sweet daughter weeks before Christmas. But now one year later, she is home with us and life feels so complete.
Christmas is for Children
I wonder what is in here?
Time to hit the slopes!
Kyle received the sea otter he wanted for Christmas from Uncle Dan and Tina
Can I open more?
Lauren wasn't so sure about opening presents this year - must have been all those weeks we told her not to open them before Christmas!
Presents are serious business!
