Christmas is over. I’ve
already taken down my tree and packed away all my decorations. So sad.
However, it was a lovely one and I’m happy to recap it for you!
I had to work Christmas Eve morning (the joys of saving all
your vacation time for maternity leave), but managed to sneak out early that
afternoon to join the rest of my immediate family at my parents' house for some
snacks and then Christmas Eve service at our church!
After church, we headed back to my parents’ for dinner
and then presents! Santa aka Grandma, Grandpa , Aunt Sarah and Uncle
Shawn were very generous this year and gifted Rowen much more than she needed…
After changing into our PJs and playing with gifts we headed
home to bed, but not before setting out cookies and milk for Santa. Oreos…Santa (ahem, preggo mommmy’s) favorite!
Christmas morning was much more special this year; I absolutely
loved watching Rowen unwrap all her gifts and enjoy each and every one of them
like it was the most amazing thing she’d ever seen. Everything from Disney coloring books to a
new art easel was opened with such excitement and joy – I now have a whole new
perspective of Christmas morning and I love it!
Later that morning after an hour or so of playing, sipping coffee
and munching on cinnamon rolls, we packed up the car and headed to the lake to
spend the rest of the day with Ryan’s family (in our Christmas jammies).
There were many more gifts to open including Rowen’s
new Elsa costume….
After presents, there was a delicious meal to consume, wine
to drink (yes I had a little) and board
games to be played. So much fun!
We arrived home just in time for Rowen to hit the hay and for Ryan and I to hit the couch for some Christmas jammie lounging!
Friday was a stay at home day. Rowen played all day while Ryan and I
organized. We were lucky to receive a
ton of new items for our kitchen, so I tasked Ryan with putting it all away (loving my newly organized kitchen) while I tackled the playroom and all of Rowie’s new toys.
Saturday was then spent at my grandma’s house with my aunts, uncles, cousins and family
from Kansas City! Grandma made us a soup and
sandwich lunch, and then we opened more gifts!
All in all it was a wonderful Christmas filled with family
and fun! Have I mentioned I’m sad it’s
over? Waahhh…
