Christmas

The build up to Christmas this year was a lot of fun. Emily is at the perfect age to enjoy all of the wonder and excitement that Christmas brings. She was very excited to get our Christmas tree and help decorate it. She loved pointing out the beautiful Christmas lights around town and always could see Santa . After all of the preparation and excitement our family ended up with the stomach flu over Christmas. All four of us were sick for a couple of days. We spent several low key days at home baking cookies and playing other fun indoor games. We were eventually able to see both sides of the family and celebrate Christmas. The girls both loved all of their presents. Emily can't stop telling people that Santa brought her a kitchen and Eliza got a new puppy. Christmas really is the most wonderful time of year. I just hope that next year we can skip the being sick part.
