So today is the day after Christmas. I think I am a bit hungover from the holidays but we had a great one. We spent Christmas morning with the kids. Eric brought Kylie downstairs and she ran to her Rose Petal Cottage and pretty much stayed there all morning. Logan seemed to like tasting his new toys as well. It was peaceful, the kids played with all their new treasures, and Eric and I sat in the living room and enjoyed the morning with coffee and Christmas music. It's funny how we wanted to find our traditions but sometimes traditions just find you. I imagine all of our Christmases will be similar to this year.

My sister came over later in the afternoon on Christmas and Kylie had a great time hanging out with Uncle John. He is her buddy. They went outside and walked around and John told Kylie the names of all the plants and such outside. He was then allowed to come inside the cottage (first person all day) and enjoy some snacks with Kylie and Winnie the Pooh. I've never seen such adoration on that child's face. I love it. With our shortage on grandfathers, I am happy that John is such a willing volunteer.

We are spending New Year's with Selena and Tyson. The boys will watch bowl games all day while Selena and I explore Chattanooga with the kids. I'm looking forward to it. I miss my best buddy and since we have already arranged Kylie and Emmett's marriage, it is important for them to know each other as well. KIDDING. They are great friends though.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. This was our best yet. Kylie understood what was going on and having Logan this year made it very special.
