It's been a wonderfully busy two days celebrating Christmas. We went to my sister's on Christmas Eve to spend a couple hours with her family. Then we were off to another family's home, where Santa made a surprise visit.

| Hello, Santa! |
Christmas Day was another intimate family gathering of oh, about 65 people. For dinner. You think I jest. Not so! Every year we joke that this year someone will be eating outside. Hasn't happened yet, but it was a near thing. And this is not a big house. It takes 10 minutes to go from one end of the house to the other, but only because of the throng of people in the way. It's a constant game of musical chairs. When you stand up, you forfeit that chair. It's happy chaos.
Tomorrow, we will celebrate with just the three of us for Emily's first Christmas. It's the only year that she won't mind, and we'll be able to have a leisurely, quiet day. We'll put a fire in the fireplace and not take off our jammies unless we want to. We'll take our time letting Emily open the presents. After all the happy chaos, I am looking forward to some peace.
Goodnight all.
