I have actually entertained the idea of skipping over the past 6 months and just blogging on the here and now, but I just can't. I am not quite sure whether it is the Type A in me, or the actuality that this printed blog is a scrapbook for our family to look back over. Either way, here I am, in July, reviewing our Christmas 2013 photos. This "being behind" business is bittersweet. I am enjoying looking back and remembering these past six months, but I am also reminded that I allowed myself to get so caught up in my work, and in mundane tasks that I let this go for too long. Since New Year's is merely a week after Christmas, and I am amidst writing a Christmas post, maybe now is a good time to make a resolution. I will not let work get the best of me this coming school year! (Hold me to that, mom!)
Without further ado, here she is, folks: Christmas 2013!
One tradition that my parents started when I was little was to start the morning off (before opening presents even!) reading through Luke 2- the original Christmas story. We decided to continue this tradition with our boys as well.
Daddy and his boys reading Luke 2
Ethan loved his R2D2 stocking stuffer!
Board games were a hit this year for our almost 5 year old!
He also loved his table hockey game!
**Since then, the players have all been removed from their table positions and are now played with a top the kitchen table at random**
Ethan loved his new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!
Aunt Sue and Landon having a tickle fight!
Reading of Luke 2 at Nana & Grandpop's
Silas' 1st Christmas was this year! Aunt Laura always leaves a lipstick kiss mark on her nephews' faces!
