We started with our own little family Christmas on Sunday morning. Clara was so much fun. We got her just a few things and it was perfect - she loved opening the three gifts she got, but I don't think she would of had the attention span for much more! It was amazing to see her delight in a few new books and some jumbo crayons. I want her to always be like that! We loved the slow morning at home to be together as a family.
Christmas Eve we spent with Brad's family. We all went to church early in the afternoon so the little kids could take a nap before the evening festivities. We were pretty sad when Clara woke up from her nap with a pretty high fever. We should have known something was up when she sat quietly with us at church. We thought Clara and I were going to have to stay home, but after a dose of Tylenol (magical!) she was running around in a hour and we joined everyone. Clara loved seeing her cousin and they had a blast diving on their new giant pillows!
Christmas morning we woke up to head over to spend time with the Daniels side. We ate lots of good food and had a day of being together. I love when holidays can be a lot of fun but also a day of rest.
Over New Year's weekend we saw some extended family. Clara came away with the sweetest present of all. What girl doesn't need a John Deere gator? :)
Christmas always reminds me that we have a lot to be thankful for!
