My Christmas this year didn't feel much like Christmas. We cancelled our travel plans also for reasons beyond our control, specifically, snotty noses and because of this...
...which is a heck of a lot more snow than it looks like. Really fun snow too, for boys of all ages. Following in the snow tradition we have established for ourselves, Daddy uses his snow blower until it breaks. Then he uses the plow on his truck, which thankfully did not break (this time).
It also didn't feel much like Christmas because one by one, all our Christmas decorations were attacked by small children, taken down and put away. By the time Christmas rolled around, we were left with nothing but the tree. The only reason the tree survived is because it's locked away in the sun room. Kid proof.
The boys opened their presents, the little bean ate the wrapping paper, and there was much rejoicing.
Please excuse my on-camera flash, it's been so long since I used it, I just wanted to be sure it still worked (or else my kids get up soooooo darn early I didn't feel like using my brain).
It was a quiet Christmas at home, just the five of us.
Well, quiet except for the kid noise, which alternated between fighting, and happily playing at the speed of boy.
