We had a lovely Christmas this year with both of our families. It was busy, as our holidays always are. We spent Christmas Eve with James' family at his parent's house. We did stockings, opened presents and had a lovely meal with his parents, grnadmother (whom we call Oma- which means Grandma in Dutch) and his siblings. We then headed off to a Christmas Eve service at church and then went back to Jennifer (Marion's best friend) and Scott's house to see them and their kids Bryce and Sage (our godkids) and Jennifer's parents for the evening. We stayed late and eventually got home to bed by about midnight.
Christmas morning we went to Marion's mum's house to open presents there with her and Heather (Marion's sister). Unfortunately Reid (Heather's husband) had to work for the morning- but joined us later in the day. We opened presents there and then Jennifer, Scott, Bryce and Sage, Jennifer's parents and Mum's friend and his son all joined us for a lovely turkey and ham Christmas dinner.
After the guests all left from there we headed to Missy's (Marion's step-sister's) for Christmas festivities with Marion's dad and that side of the family. We did stockings, opened presents and then everyone played Guitar Hero and had lots of fun. We were the first to head home as Marion was worn out and tired after severaly days of being so very busy!
Christmas was a very enjoyable time for us as it usually is- just very very busy. We think next year we may not do quite so much as with a 6 month old, it may be just too much. Maybe some of our family may come to our house- but we'll see how things go.
