We had a great trip home to Kansas. I feel good about the number of visits we were able to make to family and friends. It’s nearly impossible to see everyone when we’re there, so if we missed you, I’ll try to make it up next time!
Christmas Day itself was tiring with three kids under the age of four…but really fun. Helena was more interested in getting every smidgen of wrapping paper off of the presents than in the presents themselves. She does really like her new Dora blanket, though, and her new instrument set. She made everyone play an instrument with her that morning. So funny.
I was pretty sure she was going to smack me in the face with those maracas!
My nephew Kane was very excited about the box his new basketball goal came in…jumped right up on it and tried to jump off it just as quickly. My sister was playing defense.
Ash made a killer Julia Child-esque Beef Bourgignon for Christmas dinner at my mom’s. Best beef stew I’ve ever had. It literally took him most of the day to make and fuss over.
We’re so lucky to have such great family and friends!
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, too!!!
