We had a great time going home for Christmas this year. We were able to go home for almost three weeks. We had fun hanging out with all our family. We have been very blessed with two wonderful families.
Unfortunately I didn't get very many Christmas Pictures. So I will share some of our Christmas highlights.

My family celebrated Christmas a few days early on the 22 which was fun. We had the traditional Christmas Chowder and than put on our Christmas eve PJs. We watched The Homecoming together. We than opened all of our Christmas goodies. Santa brought everything on our wish list and so much more.
We than got to enjoy Christmas eve at the Van's with lots of great food and people. We sang Christmas carols, played the pipes, games, read the Christmas story, and shared our thought on the Savior. We had a wonderful Christmas morning and again got tons of great Christmas gifts. One Gift I loved was BBC Elizabeth Gaskell collection on dvd. I just love having a mother-in-law that likes similar movies. Robert was able to bond with my brother and Dad on a Boys Ski/snowboard trip.
We rang in the New year at my parents home with Roberts family as well. We played games and got to make lots of noise with all sorts of party favors. It was a great trip home and we were sad to go back.
