All the build up and excitement.
All the elf tricks and shenanigans.
The daily rituals of advent calendars and gift giving to neighbors and loved ones.
All the longingly looking at wrapped presents.
Everything over in a blur.
Dylan's first Christmas of pure imagination and joy was a hit. We had a phone call from Santa while he was on his sleigh. A marathon of putting together toys with grandparents and wine. And an amazing wake up by our little man.
Even Julia had the Christmas spirit! She was truly into each and every present and didn't get overwhelmed at all.
It was very special because we were fortunate to have BOTH sets of grandparents there for Christmas morning. Every time we have a holiday like that I feel more and more happy about our decision to live near family. Having our children surrounded by all the adults who love them really is the best Christmas present of all.
