Ahhh, Christmas! What a wonderful day it was! We had a busy weekend traveling to stay with Eric's parents, it was great to see everyone and enjoy the holiday together. And this weekend we will head back to see my family.
But as much as I love visiting with family, it is great to come home and spend Christmas in our house. The term "home" takes on a new meaning when you are an adult. As a kid, home means being picked on by siblings, being cooked for by parents, and enjoying the carefree lifestyle you don't realize you have as a kid. As an adult, home is about creating those same experiences all over again - the way you want to. It's about creating that same comfort, excitement and memories for your kids.
We had a great Christmas day; slept in, made a big breakfast, opened stockings and gifts. Eric and I had fun creating a scavenger hunt for the boys to find their gift, the same way my parents did long ago for me. We watched movies, popped popcorn, had a snowball fight and just enjoyed some good old fashioned time at home as a family (see slideshow on the left). Hopefully creating wonderful memories for the boys, the way our parents did for us when we were kids. It's good to be a family, and great to be "home".
