Christmas came and went like a whirl wind. We were so lucky to be able to spend it with our family. Christmas Eve we headed down to Corey's Oma's house where we celebrated with all of Corey's family. There were a ton of kiddos running around and Penny had so much fun playing with cousins.
Then that evening Corey's mom Candy came and stayed with us and we all had so much fun waking up and sharing Christmas morning together. A tradition that I'm hoping we will continue.
My mom and Aunt Patty (who was in town from Oregon) came for breakfast and to open more presents.
And then that evening my family along with Corey's dad and wife Katherine came to our house for a wonderful dinner of Chinese food (a McEwan family tradition) and every MORE presents!!
I truly think the best gift of all was to be able to celebrate with our family and start new and continue old family traditions now with Penelope.
Our New Year's eve was very mellow. I had to work that evening and so Corey and I celebrated at home. To be honest I fell asleep before midnight and Corey woke me up for a New Year kiss and back to sleep we went. We woke up New Years day and had a great breakfast and watched the Rose Parade. Perfect start to the New Year.
And this year we have even more to be thankful for, big announcement to come next blog post!!
