That Face

The kids could hardly contain their excitement for a week and (poof) just like that, it's over.

Yesterday, we had Christmas with the Garrett clan.

We had a wonderful time.

Relaxing.

Hanging out with family. Which can be both pleasant and occasionally...

scary.

Some of whom we only see once a year (sigh).

And, of course...

opening presents!!

Look at that face. That face is what it's all about. That face is why we stress and spend too much. That face is why we fret and anticipate and giggle when they open their gifts. We grown ups do all of it in the hopes of seeing that face.

Merry Christmas everyone! We love you all!
