Great first Christmas as a new family. :-) It was nice not having any obligations and worrying about being somewhere by a certain time, etc. It was the 3 of us at home the whole time.

It was exhausting, frankly. I enjoyed seeing most of the people we went to visit, but we were at 2-3 houses every single day. I don't feel like I had anything resembling a vacation, but we're still very blessed to have our family, friends, health, and some lovely gifts (plus a few to laugh about).
All good here in OZ too! We had lots of sunshine then a hailstorm but it just meant we stayed for lunch and dinner at my sisters place and Coop got to play longer with his cousins. So a good day was had, hope your's was too Justine & everyone else too!

We had a wonderful holiday with my parents and grandmother, then got to meet my brother's girlfriend's family. Also went out to dinner last night with a group of friends I grew up with who are usually scattered around the country. Back to work today, but working from my parents' house so semi-vacation (ie I don't have to cook dinner). Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays, or at least a day or two off from work!
It was the most laid back relaxing holiday ever! The house is still a disaster zone but I kinda like it and I'm actualy happy to get all of us back on routine, for 3 more days until we do it all over again!
Merry Christmas, all!

Ours was super busy, starting the 23rd and going through yesterday. We were planning to host for my family, but my sister threw a fit and my parents hosted, so we were disappointed, annoyed at the childishness and put out as we'd already prepared for hosting (planned the meals, shopped, cleaned/set up, etc.). Other than that, though, it was a great few days with friends and family. Today is back to work and routine.
