First Christmas

This was our first Christmas as a family of four.  Charlie has just begun to understand the magic of the holiday season.  She loved to see Christmas lights and Santa Clause (or Santa Closet, according to her).  We spent Christmas eve with the Stegmaier's at the feast of the 7 fishes.  All the kids were running around excited, opening presents, and being out of control.  Back at home, we put out milk and cookies for Santa and salt for the reindeer, and we got into our jingle jammies (thank you Auntie Em).  When the morning came, Charlie could not understand why Santa did not stay to see her. However, she quickly got over it and began to open her presents enthusiastically.  Will also liked opening gifts.  He especially liked any gift his sister got.  The day was marked by visiting with friends like the Masseys and the Hughes.  We ended with an amazing Christmas roast and chocolate cream pie. The holiday was relaxing and close to perfect.  We are looking forward to another Christmas at home next year.
