This year we were lucky enough to have Christmas at our house! My mom and dad (aka Ghama and Ghampa) joined us. We had a very low-key day starting with presents from family and Santa, lots of playing, a very tired boy who didn't want to take a nap but eventually gave in, a pasta feast (benefits of marrying an Italian!), a little TV, more playing, and finally bedtime.
This year was really fun. Daniel was really in to opening presents and making sure the Christmas lights were on all day, every day (basically since Thanksgiving). I read somewhere that said, "I used to think being a kid on Christmas was the best thing ever. But it turns out having kids on Christmas is." I couldn't agree more! Daniel really does make Christmas feel special to us.
We will continue the Christmas festivities this weekend with our family in Des Moines. I just hope we can fit all the gifts for Daniel in the car on the way home. I have a feeling he's going to be one happy little boy!
