Packing up Christmas

Tonight we packed up all our Christmas decorations. It's amazing to me the hours and hours we spent putting decorations up and getting everything just right and it took about 3 hours to pack it all up and put it away. Mac had a hard time with everything getting put away and wanted to keep his Christmas tree up in his room. We let him light up the tree one more time and now it's all put away until next year. Our house looks blah now after all the color and holiday cheer!

It was such a nice Christmas we enjoyed all the time spent with our family and appreciate the distance they all traveled to share the holiday with us. Mac was so excited with all the holiday cheer, decorations and business it was fun to see. Hopefully Emily will be into it a little more next year but Mac sure got in and understood this year which made it more fun.

He can tell you all about Mary and Joseph, he's learned alot in Sunday school and his preschool. He was also very concerned about how Santa would get through our glass front on our fireplace, John nearly had to disassemble the entire fireplace to make sure Santa wouldn't get stuck! What a great holiday!

I hope your holiday was a special as ours! Have a safe and happy New Year!
