What a lovely Christmas! We drove to Pagosa Springs, CO on Christmas Eve (not the best road trip ever) and met my big brother and his fam at his sweet mom in laws cabin. Such a beautiful place and so perfect for Christmas! The kids had a blast sledding, snowball fighting, etc.
Joel and I agreed that we loved how simple the gift part of Christmas was this year. We stuck with our "one big gift each" plan (though we did add a side gift this year) and they each got one from their cousin Lucy, and that was it! Ahhhh.Just in case you are curious about this stuff like I am, Jubilee and Amelia each got an American girl doll and doll clothes (eBay and Craigslist:), and Sam got a Lego helicopter set and a set of things for his nature explorer bag that Emily made him.
The rest of the day was spent playing with their new things, sledding, reading Christmas books, singing carols, trying to keep Jubilee Rose under control with no nap, etc. :) After the babies went to bed we had a lovely dinner made by the guys- corn chowder, salad, yummy bread.
Such fun being with that family- I love each of them to pieces. Lucy is just the cutest thing ever. And now we are about two hours from Austin and my mama- woo hoo! Better run...A very, merry Christmas to you! Jen
