Christmas Recap

It has been three years since we've spent Christmas with extended family, so having my parents and my brother & his family here was such a blessing.  My parents graciously agreed to sleep on the air mattress so that we could be together.  It was pure joy to see McKinley interact with her grandparents.  Even sleep couldn't contain her excitement as she would eagerly awake from naps and beg Grampa or Gramma to read books or do Starfall on the computer.  She was also introduced to the fine art of sharing and quickly developed a new-found desire for toys that her cousin Leyton would play with.  Piper began smiling and cooing and enjoyed tons of snuggles with her aunt, uncle and grandparents.  Saying we had a wonderful and relaxing time together is an understatement.  Although we rarely left the house, except for grocery runs and church, I wouldn't trade a second of the time we spent in each other's company. So chill....so fun....and so rewarding.
