Merry (belated) Christmas! We had a great month and hope everyone else did as well. Santa was very good to us this year, as usual, and my house is overflowing and cluttered with lots of new STUFF - it's time to get out the old to make room for the new!
Christmas Eve was spent at our house with Chris's side of the family. I made a beef tenderloin with roasted shallots and it turned out pretty well I must say!
Bedtime went without a hitch and Santa was here before we knew it. Christmas morning was crazy and lazy and perfect! We took our time opening gifts and playing with the new toys. I couldn't have asked for a better morning.
We headed to my Dad's for the usual family Christmas later that afternoon. My Dad's house is on the market and it was a little bittersweet to think that could be our last gathering there. Christmas just won't be the same :(
Chris was off work the week of Christmas as well as a few days around New Year's. It was a perfect excuse for us to lock ourselves in the house, stay in our pajamas and do NOTHING! It really was a great month. School is back in session now, Chris is back to work, and life is back to normal!
