Come and gone

Is it time to sit back and relax yet? Please tell me it is. We spend months planning and anticipating a day that comes and goes in a blink of an eye. Months and months of planning and then it's gone and in the end we're left with tired feet, drained bank accounts and left over fruit cake. Is anyone else exhausted? Me too. I feel beat, defeated, and maybe a little sad that it's already over.


Friends from the neighborhood came over Christmas Eve to decorate cookies for Santa.






Christmas morning, bright and early.










We've met such wonderful people here. We were invited to celebrate and have Christmas dinner with friends.






In the end it was a perfect day. Though we celebrated the holidays so very far from family we were still able to have a memory filled Christmas. From our family to yours, Happy holidays hope your day was full of excitment and cheer.

I think maybe you're looking at Ella's new double baby stroller from Santa. Pretty, huh? You should see how it fits through our doorways. A little girl can never have to many baby doll accessories. - j

Oops, sorry. I wanted to edit my above comment and then I ended up deleting it. You guys looked like you ended up having a wonderful Christmas despite being away from family. I'm so glad you have made good friends there. Miss you guys.
