The best part of Christmas are the visitors that come into town. Ours started with Aunt Emmy flying in from Telluride. She and the kids are tight so it is really fun and a nice break for us (i've taken to calling her Aunt Nanny). We were then lucky enough to have Valenti and George V. visit for an evening. Val had a great time and it was so good to see them. The best part of great friends is that no matter how much time passes, nothing seems to change. Wade stopped by with his new and very sweet wife Joletta, it was great to meet her finally!
We always celebrate Christmas Eve with my mom's side. The family keeps growing so it is a loud, fun party complete with enchiladas (our traditional meal). Christmas morning was not quite what i expected because Drew was so worn out. Nora, however, loved it and has mastered the fine art of tearing into gifts.
My brother Peter and his family, Emily and Toby came to visit too. Drew and Toby are best cousins. They love each other so much and have lots of fun running, screaming and destroying...
look out Grandma.
All in all it was a nice time, but I do want to find a way to come up with a little more meaning and a little less materialism next year. Maybe if I start planning in July...
