Christmas this year has been a little different. I wanted to stay ahead of the Fibromyalgia Monster so I decided to not decorate the house. Surprisingly, I didn't even feel guilty about it. In order to keep this post in the holiday spirit I will share with you a picture of our tree from last year!
It's a little out of the ordinary too, I know, but I kinda like to fit life into my own mold!
We celebrated Christmas at Adam and Brandy's house a few days early and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, the company delightful, and the grands were really excited about their gifts.
Technology ruled the day. Noah loved his super-duper headphones....
.....and Gavin and Aidan were surprised with their iPad mini's.
Six and a half year old Aidan exclaimed, "You have GOT to be kidding me!" when he realized what it was. By the end of the evening he was snapping pics with it and emailing them to us! I woke up the next morning to a text message from him asking me if I wanted to Face Time with him!
We got to open presents, too!
This iArm that Adam and Brandy gave to Hubby was the best present of the day! Too funny!!
Even though this Christmas was unlike other years, the best part of it was unchanged -- focusing on and spending time with people we love.
Normally I don't make any gifts for Christmas. I find it much too stressful. Besides that, when I do make a gift for someone, I just can't wait that long to give it to them! This year I did make several things (probably because I saved so much time by not decorating!) I'll show you those next time. In the meantime, if you want to see the rest of our Christmas photos you can find them here on my Flickr page.
