Merry Christmas !?

Christmas this year did not quite go as planned ! Christmas Eve we spent here just our little family of four. We actually ordered some takeout and opened our one gift of whatelse ? New PJs ! Then we put the girls down as usual and popped in a the movie Church Ball ( afterall we have had it since last xmas and have not seen it). Well that lasted all of 30 minutes ( do not recommend it) and then we opted to watch the traditional christmas favorites on TV. Chevy Chases Christmas Vacation always satisfies.
Then christmas day we woke up at 8 am and began opening presents. Brooklyn was VERY excited for her new Loving Famiy doll house and all of the accesories that we added. Madison has enjoyed her TV/ DVD player and her Anatex Wire Maze that we got for her bedroom wall to add to the entertainment in her room.
Then after opening presents we were gearing to go to Nana and Papis in Irvine when we got the call. Turns out my mom , dad and sister had all gotten some form of the flu. Needless to say, we stayed home and enjoyed a low key christmas day. The girls did not seem to mind since they had their new toys to distract them.

Sorry you didn't get to be with family, but there's something to say for hanging out at home. Think of the traffic and hassle you missed out on! I hope you got to get together with them later. We went to Riverside on Christmas Eve (no traffic - Yeah!) and stayed home in our pj's all day Christmas. That was the BEST! There was nobody to entertain, no place we needed to be - it was sooo relaxing! The kids just played and played. Sometimes those days are the best!
