This year Christmas was a little different. People had to work, had other obligations, etc. All in all, it was a good holiday-I spent lots of time with family, enjoyed church, and ate lots of delicious food, but it just felt more like a Monday and a Tuesday than Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Here's the celebration in pictures:

After lunch mom and I snuggled up on her bed and watched "The Full Monty" then had a hodgepodge dinner, after which I watched the Grinch and read my book. Not exactly our traditional day, but it was nice anyway.

Christmas Dinner: Apricot jam toast and
champagne punch. |
Love your pictures! Our Christmas has been covered in sickness... blech, but it's still nice to be with family! Love you!
