We had a great Christmas! We received a surprise package on Christmas Eve day and even though I arrived at the post office 10 minutes past close, I was still able to pick it up! It was from my parents and I knew it contained cookies and “a few other little things,” but there weren’t little things in there! It was a fabulous Christmas surprise!
We did stay here in Denver, although we seriously considered flying home on Christmas Day (after we had opened our gifts) to surprise everyone. It’s not as delicious of a surprise when I’m writing about it and it didn’t happen, but it sure would’ve been sweet. We will be home for Christmas next year! Conor and I have gotten good at Christmases on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Eve together, cutting gingerbread men, playing cards, well, Conor did declare that he’s never playing Uno again and was choked he didn’t beat me by more when we played a game of Crib. We topped our evening off with the movie, Elf and did our best to fall into dreams of sugar plums only to discover that we get too razzed up at Christmastime to sleep! Myself included, shocking!
Conor had a mullet. The proof is on our tree!
