We had a quiet, yet fun Christmas '09 with Grammy and Poppy. We were supposed to go to Grammy and Poppy's home Christmas Eve, but due to slick roads, cold temps, and threats of snow we stayed at home and had a very quiet, relaxing evening with our little family. We read the Christmas story from the Bible and had the kiddos open new pajamas. We got the chocolate milk all ready for Santa and put the kiddos to bed relatively early. Dane and I enjoyed the evening together opening gifts to and from one another. We awoke to a little bit of snow the next morning and while Em was disappointed Santa was already gone, she couldn't wait to get outside to see the snow. Although a little apprehensive, she soon was down scooping up the bits of snow on the grass and loving it. She didn't want to go inside, but she did want her brother to see the snow. We went in and got E up and he continued to stay unsure of the cold, wet stuff on the grass. We came in and had a little Christmas with our little family and then shortly thereafter, Grammy and Poppy arrived with many a gifts. It was fun to have a small get-to-gether and fun was had by us all. We left the kiddos with Grammy and Poppy and Dane and I went to see Sherlock Holmes. It was fun to get out and have a little couples time. We look forward to having everyone together next Christmas!
