Christmas has come and gone, and in spite of a holiday hangover, we had a phenomenal day.
The morning started with the girls and their cousin absolutely jazzed about their stockings, the presents under the tree and the note Santa left behind thanking them for the cookies, milk and carrots they left out the night before. We opened presents in shifts—after all, kids’ attention spans are short enough that they want to play with the toys they just got for Christmas.
But in all, the best part of Christmas didn’t come wrapped. As always, the best present was the presence of our loved ones.
