Ok, big change of vacation plans this Christmas holiday year. Instead of doing the overly craziness of traveling and crowds, we decided to stay in town this year to just hang out at home, doing lots of family time. I had a whole list of places to go and do, but with the rainy, wet weather all week long, we hardly ventured outside, except to run errands, playing in our back yard and visiting family. We had friends and neighbors visiting us, watched some good holiday movies, studied every morning and sometimes in the evenings where the kids worked on their phonics reading, baked cookies, walked the dogs, slept in and just hang out together.
At first I had high traveling plans, setting out to do Disneyland and Tahoe all in a week's time, but, my hubby got a bit lazy to do the driving, and so we decided to just relax and have fun staying home. Traveling is fun, but it's a lot of work too. Either way, it doesn't really matter where we are at or the places we go, it's nice that we all spent time together, focusing on quality family time.
On Christmas eve, we had some good friends visiting us and then we went to visit our neighbors to give out gifts to thank them and to wish them a Merry Christmas. One of neighbors gave us wine and chicken for dinner. Isn't that so nice of them. Ethan, Ellen and Emma loved giving out gifts and giving gratitude. I try to instill in them a sense of being thankful for all that we have and to love and support one another.
All is well with me. I'm just so glad to wake up each day with a wonderful, loving husband and kids. I'm blessed to have this wonderful life. Lots of Love.
