2011, Week 52

Ahhh, Christmas... the most wonderful time of the year. This year family started arriving in the wee hours of Christmas eve morning, since we were all gathering at my parents' house. We spent Christmas eve hanging out, enjoying a delicious Italian lunch, and having a bonfire and playing horseshoes in the back area of the yard. The weather was perfect, and we loved being out there. On Christmas morning we opened gifts and loved watching Layton experience the first Christmas where he actually knew somewhat what was happening. More family visited, and we were all quite relaxed and enjoyed one another's company, playing games, watching movies, etc. The rest of the week was more of the same, even after the guests left. Mom and I did some after-Christmas shopping, though we didn't buy much, and we played a LOT of marbles. I was quite sad to see the week coming to an end, though, because that meant the Christmas season was over and my time at home would soon be over.
