Christmas with Justin's Family

We are learning that with divorce comes changes. There are days that Daniel has his kids and days where Sarah has them. And Holidays are no exception to that rule. Dan won't have them every year on Christmas Eve. So even though Christmas Eve has been celebrated by the Huffman's for a long time, we learned how to be flexible this year. Plus, Dan's wife- Michelle was due with their first child together on 12/23/09. Since they were hosting the event, we thought it would be better to schedule it for the Saturday before Christmas.

Keith was able to drive the boys in from the mountains so we did not have to go and pick them up (Secretly I love spending that extra time with them- but it was nice to not have to spend and extra hour or so on the road with a 2 year old).

We had a wonderful- relaxing day. No extra traffic because of the Holiday. No rushing back to get to the skype call with my east coast family. It was an almost perfect day. We played with the kids, relaxed with Grandma. It was a blast opening up presents and watching the kids open theirs. And even though Lucus broke the marshmallow shooter about 2 seconds into playing with it- Family moments like these ones are priceless.
