Belated Christmas Celebration

Chris' family came to visit the week after Christmas, so we decided to postpone having our Christmas morning until they arrived. We had our Christmas Eve on New Year's Eve, and our Christmas morning on New Year's morning. Sam had no idea. We made a little Christmas count-down paper chain, and we just adjusted it to count down to the adjusted date. When we'd be out running errands after December 25th, people would ask Sam if Santa had come to visit him, and he'd say no, not yet. We got a few weird looks, so I would have to explain.

Anyway, we had such a good Christmas and were so happy that the Taylors could come celebrate with us. Here are a couple videos from our Christmas and visit with Chris' family.

This first clip is of our Christmas Eve which we celebrated December 31st. Chris was sick during the whole time his family was here (he gets sick at this time every year from exhaustion and lack of sleep). This also shows Sam decorating cookies for Santa.


This second clip is of our Christmas morning which we celebrated on January 1st.


This last video is of an afternoon we spent in Seattle. We ate at a Crab Pot, then Sam rode on a little carousel. While the rest of us went to Pike Market Place, Chris' dad and Sam went to the aquarium. We spent the evening swimming at the hotel and eating Great Harvest sandwiches.


Here are some more pictures of the fun we had during Chris' family's visit.
