A bit about our personal life. 6 Christmas Celebrations, Multiple Family Gatherings and a Funeral

                            Holiday Season 2014-2015

Well, as the new year gets going in full swing we wanted to share a little of our Holidays with you!

We started the Christmas season ice skating with the children and looking at lights! We loved the time together! 

Then we had our immediate family Christmas early as it was a very busy time. Our son was overjoyed by a sweet, thoughtful gift from his sister! He tackled her with hugs! So sweet. 

Christmas Eve we hosted Brittany's extended family for our traditional soup supper. Followed by a family sleepover. We all live in the same city but longed for the time when we were children and could wake up to stocking, family and breakfast. It was very fun. We then spent the morning together playing games and enjoying time with each other. 

 

Christmas night we went to Kevin's family's Christmas where we had a marvelous rib-eye dinner! We enjoyed family and the children were overjoyed by their gifts! 

The next day our Grandparents from Arkansas put on a wonderful Christmas party for the whole family at their hotel meeting room! It was fabulous! The most exciting part... coloring! Everyone got so into it! What a fun idea! 

The Saturday after Christmas was not as happy as everything up to this point. We attended a funeral for Kevin's grandpa. It is such a hard time of year to lose someone. The family handled it well and seems to be doing OK. Kevin's mom joined us that evening for dinner and our mini Christmas with her and her husband. It turned out to be a very lovely time. 

Then this past Sunday we had our final Christmas with Brittany's Great- Grandparents. It was a delightful time with out of town relatives. The food was amazing and the company was great! 

Let's not forget New Years!! We have a family tradition, movie marathon. We vote during the day for 4 movies we want to watch then start at 4pm and go until midnight. We make snacks and create a bed with all our pillows and blankets on the living room floor. It is time for us to just enjoy our little family! 

Hope you enjoyed this lenghty account of our Holiday Season! Time is going by so quickly we want to focus more on our friends and family, spending as much time with them as possible!
