Christmas 2007

Who would have thought that our first Christmas with a baby would actually be the most quiet, relaxed, stress-free Christmas we've ever had? Part of it had to do with cards and gifts being finished and ready to go even before December! Part of it was attributed to Ryan being off work, so we had lots of quiet time at home as a family. Part of it was because we didn't plan a lot of social activities. Part of it was not going hog-wild with gifts like many other years. After all, why bother? -we got the best gift ever two months ago! :-)

Our Christmas Day was spent quietly, incorporating a third family member into our existing traditions, and developing new ones together.
