Christmas 2008

We celebrated the weekend before Christmas with my brother, Graham and his family. We had a very nice dinner (we used our china for the first time....we've only had it for 4 1/2 years!). Graham wasn't feeling well, so after the kids opened presents they left :(

Like usual, I had to work on Christmas day, but this year we spent the morning at home just the three of us. It was so nice not to have to worry about getting out of the house at a certain time and not have to take 2 cars to go somewhere. Emma got up at her normal time around 8am. We all went down to open presents and check out our stockings. Emma didn't get the whole Santa thing, but she was helpful with opening most of the presents.
