It is hard to believe we just celebrated our fourth Christmas together! This was a very special Christmas for our family because we were able to celebrate it in our new house! It was a whirl wind of activity though!
From Thanksgiving until the New Year, we were busy remodeling the new house, moving, decorating for Christmas, buying presents, and turning our old house over to the new owners. We have lots of Christmas traditions so it is fun to look back and see that many of the pictures from Christmas to Christmas are similar, but the kids have just gotten older. We always decorate the day after Thanksgiving but it was a challenge this year since everything was brand new. Where to put the Christmas tree? Every Christmas Eve we go to church, go out for Chinese food, and open one present. The present is always a new pair of matching pajamas. After getting ready for bed, it is time to put out milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Then it is off to our bedroom for a movie and slumber party. With everyone in our room, no one can sneak out to look at all of the presents in the middle of the night!
