It was a little different spending Christmas without hours in the car and lots of snow but hey, 65 degree weather is a change I can live with. It was so fun to be together and not have the stress of traveling. We spent Christmas eve reading stories, building a gingerbread house, making and eating a yummy Christmas dinner, and watching Christmas movies. Max and Morgan left cookies and a note for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. First thing Christmas morning Max came into bed with us and waited for London to wake up. When she did, we all journeyed out into the living room where we spent 2 hours opening presents from Santa, each other, grandparents, and cousins. (The scooter was the first thing he saw and he was reluctant to open any presents after that. Kind of like, what's the point? I got what I want.)
Max of course was spoiled rotten by his grandparents. Thanks, Gramma and Papa Lewis for his rad new scooter and all of the games and activities! BINGO is a big hit around here! And thank you Grammie and Papa Mark for the truck and play dough. That play dough has kept him occupied all weekend! And of course, thank you everyone for London's Christmas gifts! She got some good stuff and I can't wait for her to be able to enjoy it:)
We sure missed seeing everyone and were of course a little homesick. It helps to know that we will be up in a few weeks and can see everyone then. Christmas just isn't the same without the Great Tree, bowling, and lots of family.
