This was our first Christmas in eight years that it was just us without any extended family.
I thought it would be kind of sad and lonely and too quiet.
But in the end it was fun and relaxing.
{And not quiet at all.....Skylar does live here after all}.
It was nice to not travel or worry about cooking 20 different things for a big dinner.
Christmas morning had us playing "grocery store" at 5:30 am......
Finley joined us awhile later and Skylar was happy to help him open his presents.....
The whole family took a nap at 9:30 in the morning and then opened our presents around noon when everyone woke up again. It was awesome!
We waited all week for snow that never came. So instead of a sled ride we had a wagon ride. Not having a white Christmas in these parts is almost unheard of. Last December we got 71 inches, this December....one...maybe.
In the end it was a perfect Christmas and we are so thankful to be together this year!
That looks like a perfect Christmas! Oh, and I love Finley's cheeks!
