Oh Yeah, Christmas...

So, it's January 11 and I realized I haven't posted photos or stories from our Christmas. It was a very busy month where we enjoyed an extended visit from Grandma, a shorter visit from Suzyn and Ross and a post-Christmas trip to see our Mississippi family. Throw in some holiday parties, lots of baking, Disney on Ice, a snow storm and New Years' Eve and...whew!

The snow got in our way a little, delaying our air travel by one day, but Delta was kind enough (yes, can you believe it?!)to push our return flights back by a day also, so we still enjoyed a nice visit in MS, including a super fun trip to the zoo.

BBZ definitely understood Christmas this year. Everything from Baby Jesus to Santa to singing in church to baking cookies seemed to click for him. (Of course, now he keeps asking when Santa is coming and insists on inserting Mary and Joseph into every Bible Story I tell him, but hey, he's learning.) Anyway, Christmas felt magical to me for the first time since I was a kid. I loved it! We had very few gifts, but that didn't seem to matter to anyone. I hope we keep that in mind as the years go by.

I routinely forgot to get out the camera this holiday season, but click the photo below to see some pics I did manage to take.
