Christmas Rewind

We were beyond blessed to have family come to us for Christmas this year.  My parents, ALL of my siblings, and my nieces and nephews all came out to visit us over the holidays.  It was a FULL house, but a house full of love.  Of course we packed in some local touring, because everyone always wants to see something in DC.  On the flip side, we had lots of down time, play time, and time to catch up.

We counted down to the arrival of our guests for weeks and filled our time with lots of Christmas preparation of our own.  This year was the first year we cut down our own Christmas tree with the kids.  There is something magical about a real tree.  We even camped out under our Christmas tree lights one night.  So many memories were made and this time of year is made all the more special with the awe of children.  We all should try seeing through their eyes more, especially at Christmas.  More pictures of family here to follow.
