On the 23rd we celebrated Christmas with aunt Jodie, cousin Cantrel and Grandma Barb. Aunt Jodie brought a TON of delicious food for us all to eat. Ada wasn't feeling well and Emmet wasn't quite himself either but it was still nice to spend time together as a family. We don't see each other often enough. Neither Roger or I took any pictures (crabby babies), which is a bummer because I don't have any to share here then.
On Christmas Eve we were lucky enough to have a house full of guests to celebrate with again. Greg and Gina came in from Colorado. Nana and Pops came over and so did Grandpa (Bumpa) and Julie. Ada was still a little under the weather and wasn't quite herself. It was so so so nice to see Greg and Gina (they stayed with us for their stay here in Wisconsin). Emmet and Ada thoroughly enjoyed having them live upstairs. Gina went running nearly every morning and Ada and Emmet are convinced that anyone who goes running by is Gina now. They both still ask for "Geg" and Gina periodically.
We were all so spoiled with gifts and love. Ada and Emmet really enjoyed opening their presents this year. Emmet took it upon himself to pass out the gifts, which was absolutely adorable. At times they would say "wow" or "whoa" when they opened a present. It was truly precious to watch them enjoy all that Christmas has to offer; Santa, Christmas trees and ornaments, gifts, family time, music etc. It's quite special to have the opportunity to see Christmas through the eyes of your own child. Something special indeed.
