Christmas Day was wonderfully relaxing. For the first time ever, the kids slept in. It was shortly after 9:30 a.m. when everyone finally wandered upstairs, breaking through the wrapping paper and moseying over to their stockings. Also—for the first time ever—Amazon (ahem… Santa) delivered everything on time, with no “IOUs” to unwrap. Well done, Santa.
After breakfast pizza, we went to visit Grandpa. It was special to be with him as a family. I love him so much, and now that he lives in a seniors’ home, I don’t see him as often. For so many years, our Christmases revolved around him, and this marked the first Christmas he wasn’t able to join us. That absence was felt.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing—watching movies and playing games. I love this family so much, and it’s exciting to think about how we will continue to grow and evolve together. I will forever be grateful for this year and for the season we were blessed to share.
