Christmas

We had a great Christmas. As far as the 5 of us go, we dont go overboard with presents. The kids get spoiled by the grandparents so we usually just do 3 small gifts. Jesus only got 3, right? That way the kids dont come to expect a ton from us every year. So, we woke up in the morning and they slowly opened gifts throughout the day. Instead of doing it all at once, we did it gradually...that way they dont get overwhelmed. Mom was able to come with Mike...and Hana fianlly opened up to him. Its only taken 5 years! It was just a nice relaxing day at home with family.The girls and I got matching aprons. Chloe did not take hers off all day!
