This was the first year that either Mike or I had been away from our families and were just “together with our family.” It was bittersweet knowing that everyone was together celebrating, but it was also very fun to start our own family traditions.
Christmas Eve we welcomed Max and Amy over for some pizza and beverages. They were also nice enough to say and play Santa’s helpers putting together a few of Thomas’ new toys!
After dinner we had to get the cookies that we had made earlier in the day ready for Santa. Then I helped Thomas write his letter to Santa, which lasted about 30 seconds and was a single sentence. After leaving out the milk and cookies, Thomas got to pick one present and open it. After playing with his truck for a bit it was time for Thomas to go to bed and us to get to work. A couple things we missed that we will do next year for sure were attending Christmas Eve Mass and reading Twas’ the night before Christmas.
