Our first Christmas together was a marvelous one. We were able to have all the kids together and Jim had two and a half days off! Christmas Eve was spent at Jim's parents in Hurricane. We made Vietnamese food for dinner, decorated cookies for Santa, acted out the nativity, and opened a present from grandma and grandpa. The kids had been so excited for Santa to come that they had been getting up early every morning for two weeks. We were worried we would be getting up very early Christmas morning but I guess the kids were worn out from so many early mornings and we were able to sleep in until 6:30. The kids were so excited with their presents but dissapointed that Santa forgot to bring them a dog. The rest of the day was spent playing the wii, hungry hippos, transformers, and learning how to train Ellie's interactive dog. Jim even made us hootenannies (yum!). My family traveled down to celebrate with us, braving snowy roads and windy conditions. We were so glad to have some time with them. Holidays are always better when shared with those we love.
