Christmas


Well, this being my first post on our new blog, I thought starting with a recap of Christmas would be a pretty good way to start! Our Christmas almost didn't start when my brother and his family nearly got stranded at the Denver airport due to snow, but thankfully by the grace of God they were able to get on a flight to Seattle and then drive from Seattle to Spokane. Not fun, but we are just thankful they made it! Christmas just isn't Christmas without the whole family. We started our Christmas Eve morning by having a wonderful breakfast with my husbands brother Bryan, his wife Kammie, and their 11 year old son Noah. It was great to be able to spend some time with them relaxing, eating and opening presents! Later that evening we continued our new tradition of going out to dinner on Christmas Eve. It was so great, and the best part is that we didn't have to prepare any food or clean up any dishes! :)

Christmas day was so much fun with a two year old! Marek was so excited to open presents and see what Santa had brought for him. Mckenna was happy to just take it all in!

All in all we had a wonderful Christmas! Marek had a blast playing with his cousin Knox and it was great to spend time with family for an extended period of time. My only wish is that it wouldn't have flown by so fast!
