Well, it was a wonderful Christmas this year, Owen's first, and the kids had a great time. We celebrated with Mark's family on Christmas Eve and my family on Christmas Day. Canyon was with us on Christmas Eve and then went on a hunting trip with his grandfather. He came home late Sunday and will be with us for the week. We decided with Ava to start our own traditions and had her open her presents Christmas morning. We layed out sugar cookies and milk the night before and I took some great photo's of her discovering her presents.
It's so nice to be off work, but I wish it were longer. Mark is at home all this week with the kids and we are in the process of repainting Canyon and Ava's rooms (they switched) so it's been a little hectic. I have more and more respect for my own mother who raised three of us on her own, I don't know how she did it. I keep reminding myself that I need to slow down and enjoy these moments, when the kids are little. My sister has been visiting a lot lately, entertaining one or all kids so I can get everything put back in its' place. I am very blessed to have family that I can depend on.
Happy New Year!
