christmas part 2

Christmas morning had finally arrived. As I woke up bright and early, I looked outside to see the beautiful snow that had fallen overnight. It did not take long before an excited little girl arrived in our bedroom. She had the biggest smile on her face as she jumped up and down shouting 'it is Christmas, it is Christmas!' She could hardly contain her excitement as she ran down the hall to the living room to see if Santa had come during the night. She shouted at the top of her lungs 'Santa ate all of the cookies but the reindeer didn't eat all of their carrots.' Her attention quickly turned to the presents under the tree. Little Miss L. and Baby D. loved opening all of their goodies. After all the gifts has been opened, we were joined by my brother and sister-in-law and my cute nephew for a yummy Christmas breaky. After the breakfast was finished, we rushed and got ready to head to my in-laws for lunch. We were looking forward to spending time with family, but unfortunately our time was cut short because Baby D was inconsolable - he has started teething and nothing we did seemed to soothe him. The rest of the day was spent at home trying to unwind from our busy weekend. The weather was balmy so we decided to check out our new sled we received. The kids love love loved it. Little Miss L. loved the fact she was able to hold her little brother, and Baby D loved being out in the fresh air so much he was out cold within two minutes.

It was an awesome holiday weekend and I loved every minute of it. I love the hustle and bustle of the holidays but it sure is good to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of tea and just relax for a few moments.
