The holidays snuck up on us this year. We were thinking of holiday trips and getaways, but before we knew it, it was the 24th and we decided to keep a couple of babies home and relax for once. We still packed plenty into the time off and got the girls involved in the Christmas spirit as much as we could.
There was tree decorating, hanging stars and stockings, baking goodies, plenty of ham and so much more to be thankful for. With the work routine at a half pace and Astrid home from daycare for two whole weeks, we packed in a lot of family videochats with grandparents around the world, trips with the Aunties, a visit from Baba, and plenty of days where you could just wear your pajamas all day.
Christmas Eve was spent with our dear Aunt Mimi, who brought her adorable cat Feta to play and spend the night. Astrid of course really, really, really, LOVES cats for some reason (sorry Loulou) and could not get enough of chasing Feta around the house (sorry Feta). A big thanks to all the wonderful family and friends who sent the girls toys, books and clothes, it all was played with for weeks to come. The rocking giraffe from Mimi and Beauty and the Beast dress and book from Grandma and Grandpa Klimas were especially big hits.
We even managed to snap a few decent family photos with everyone looking sharp.
