The holidays are always very busy for every family. Since Hannah was born, we started traveling to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving so we could be at our house for Christmas. Then, Tim's mom and dad and sister's family try to come down after Christmas for Hannah's birthday and we can celebrate Christmas then. This year, Tim's mom and dad will be with us in Disney right after Christmas and his sister and her family are not able to go. So, Thanksgiving was the only time we would all be together. We decided to kick off Thanksgiving weekend with a little early Christmas. I'm thankful for flexibility Tim's family shows during the holidays. It really doesn't matter when we celebrate, as long as we are able to do it all together. We had a great time celebrating Christmas while we were in Wisconsin. We had an nice meal, reflected on the birth of our Savior, and opened some fun presents. This year, we asked the grandparents to do the four gift rule -- something the kids want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. It was fun finding these items and nice way to keep Christmas somewhat low key. We capped off the night with a cute cousin picture in matching Christmas jammies. These kids had so much fun together! It's so fun to see them interact and play and I know the fun times are just beginning. I'd say our first Christmas celebration was a success!
