We had a wonderful Christmas spent with both families. Delicious food, great gifts, fun games and fellowship made our weekend memorable. I have decided that Christmas as a kid was all about fun and Christmas as a mom is all about work :) My joy now comes from watching my children's excitement and the work was well worth it. I also really valued the time we shared as a family and with our extended families. Our New Year's weekend has been spent putting away our new gifts and taking down the Christmas decor. Ethan even decided to build a shelving unit in the basement to get organized. We are excited for a fresh start and are looking forward to 2012 and all that it brings!
