Although this Christmas didn't turn out to be quite what we expected due to the weather, it actually ended up being quite nice. We were able to make it out for church on Christmas Eve, which served as a reminder of the real reason for the season, and gave us a chance to sing lots of Christmas songs (as well as getting Lucy gussied up in her special dress). Otherwise we pretty much stayed warm and cozy in the house and celebrated Christmas with our little family. It was wonderful to have lots of one-on-one time with Lucy and Brandon. They both enjoyed opening their gifts on Christmas morning. I think the highlights for Brandon were a Hopkins High School sweatshirt and some new slippers (he's pretty easy to please!) Lucy enjoyed her big Elmo book, stacking cups, and princess blanket. We didn't get her too much this Christmas, because we knew she'd be showered with gifts from grandparents and aunts and uncles. She didn't seem to mind. :)
All of the celebrations back in Iowa were postponed for the most part, so although we missed everyone we didn't really miss any family events. Hopefully if it works out for everyone, we'll be heading down to my parent's place this coming weekend to celebrate with them and resume the Christmas 2009 Tour. I can't wait for everyone to see how big Lucy is and how much she has changed, and I'm really looking forward to spending some time with my nephews and enjoying the company of family. I hope everyone out there had a nice Christmas, even with all the snow!
