and a happy new year! - 12/27

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We definitely did. We kept it pretty low-key, didn't venture out too much, just really spent a bunch of time with the kids. But, ya know, that's kinda what it's all about for us!
On Saturday we did get to my friend's family Christmas. That was really nice, we all had a lot of fun there, and felt like part of the family. It definitely didn't take the place of spending time with any or all of you, but it sure helped fill the hole for us.
On Sunday we got in to Brandon for church in the morning, then came home for the rest of the day. We had veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, chicken nuggets, and meatballs, and let the kids picnic in the living room and watch a movie. They had a lot of fun, I think. They all actually got to bed a pretty decent time that night and so got a good night sleep. Definitely needed, as they were all feeling a bit under the weather with a cold.
Christmas morning we woke up with the kids and opened our stockings. Then we took time to eat breakfast before opening our gifts. The whole thing took nearly until noon! Ruthie likes to open all her presents and then play with them, while Zech likes to open and play with each one before opening the next. It was a lot of fun to do with them! Isaac slept until a bit after 10am... I guess he enjoyed his first Christmas?!!
I have lots of pictures to share, but probably won't get a chance to upload them for a bit yet. I'll try to get them on the end of this week!
