We stayed here in Florida for Christmas again this year. It was hard not to be surrounded by family, but Matt is able to get so many "free" vacation days because of their work policy, it is hard for us to justify him taking days off to be elsewhere. We figure it is a trade-off, but we can use those extra vacation days for trips throughout the year.
No visitors this year either :( Matt was sad to have to day after Christmas shop by himself. Yes, my husband does go to Wal-Mart at 6am, Target at 7am, and sometimes Lowe's and Home Depot too. He loves Christmas decorations at discounted prices. That is how we decorate our house the next year, and I always get excited to put all those deals to good use!
We took like a billion pictures of everyone opening presents. I guess for those who weren't with us, you will truly feel like you spent the holiday with us after watching. Matt loves playing with movie maker and has done an excellent job! The movies are titled, so only watch the ones you want, or watch them all! We took our time an opened presents over a span of several days. We didn't want the girls to get overwhelmed with how much they are loved or not have a chance to play with toys and things as they opened them. It was a lot of fun, and in the end I am glad we did it!
We missed so many of you, and thank you for all your heartfelt cards and presents!
May God Bless us all and give us a great start to the New Year!
