Christmas Time!

This Christmas was a little crazy. The way my work schedule landed this year, I was working Fri, Sat and Sun :( So I missed Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my fam! I was super bummed but really excited since that will be my last year doing that as I will go to part time before the next holidays.

Anyways....After work on Christmas Eve I came home and our little family opened our stockings and gave Kinsey our gifts. It was very short, but very special. We let her stay up late and lay in bed with us. She was in heaven and it was so special just to spend some time with just the three of us.

On Christmas day Josh woke up and took Kinsey over to celebrate with his parents. The opened gifts and had breakfast and spent the morning just relaxing. From what I hear, Kinsey had a super time

On Monday, we celebrated with my family. I was able to have the day off so I could cook and actually get to sit and enjoy time with everyone. Kinsey got even more gifts. Although we set a limit on the gifts we were getting her, it seems like she still ended up with a house full. Its such a balance to try to teach them at this age what Christmas is all about and what the ultimate gift is. I think next year she will be at an age where she will be able to understand the true meaning of this season and what we are actually celebrating. This year we tried to spend some time just in the moment with our families rather than getting caught up in all the hustle and bustle of what was going on.

Yep, Kinsey really did talk great grandma into coming in the tent with her. Priceless.
