Not only did our friends get here last week and have to get moved and settled in, but Alina’s parents also came out for Christmas. It was pretty fun, (my favorite part was mine and Kris’ win at Trivial Pursuit (and no, there weren’t only 5 original colonies, there were 13)). We did the whole Christmas tree and gift opening thing, but it was a little discouraging seeing Rachael open presents from her grandparents, when we couldn’t afford to get her anything. Oh well, at least I know I have her continual affection that I don’t have to buy (even though diapers and formula are expensive).
This Christmas seemed really rushed, hopefully next year when things are settled down we will be able to have a nicer, less crazy Christmas.
