Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were divided between my house, my parents' house, Dan's parents' house, and Dan's sister and brother-in-law's house. It was a lot of back and forth, loading, unloading, reloading, and unloading gifts, and snacking on delicious treats.
It was the most wonderful two days ever. There's nothing more special than spending time with family. This year, I got to spend time with two families, two of the best families, in my opinion. On Christmas Eve, our families got to be together in Michigan, and it was absolutely perfect. We got to laugh and enjoy and be surrounded by love. Totally, totally awesome.
There are so many things we all take for granted. Meals together. Story swapping. A goodbye hug. A hello smile. Having a whole day where those are the only things to focus on is perfection.
With eyes on 2013, I know wonderful things are coming our way. Next year, I will watch at least six friends and family members marry, meet many new babies, and have countless experiences I can only dream about. I. Am. So. Excited!
Pictures below of our holiday. I hope you had the Merriest Christmas yet!
