We celebrated Christmas as a family quite a bit before Christmas. Zoe and I made the drive to Grand Rapids the Wednesday before Christmas. Since I have so much time off, I figured we should take advantage of being able to make the trip at random times during the week. And I knew we'd never have enough in one car for all of the presents, plus Zoe and Wally. Aaron stayed behind and painted our entry way after work and he drove over on Friday afternoon.
Thursday, I was able to visit with high school friends and see all of their kids. It's crazy how things have changed.
Friday, my mother-in-law stopped over for a few hours to see Zoe. It was so nice having afternoon company. Zoe was a little fussy, but I don't think Nana cared :)
Saturday, began the Christmas festivities. We celebrated Christmas with my dad's extended family. Sunday, we celebrated with my mom's side. Monday evening was with my immediate family, and Tuesday was with Aaron's.
We had lots of family time even after Christmas celebrating was over. It was so nice to be home and have extra help. It was hard leaving everyone on Sunday, especially since there aren't any future visits planned. I know something will pop up though with an excuse :)
And now for the photos :)
