Another Christmas has passed us by. Time seems like it goes too fast to catch up with sometimes. And other times it feels so slow on those long, seemingly never ending, afternoons at home.
We are blessed with wonderful friends and family to celebrate holidays with.
The Killough's came on Christmas Eve again, which has become a new little tradition I love. We woke up Christmas morning here in Los Gatos and shared in Ava's excitement that Santa came. It was, of course Nathan's 1st Christmas, which made it extra special too. The tree had lots of presents packed under and around it, making it cozy and feeling magical, which is what christmas is really about.
We ate a yummy Christmas dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Koch in Pleasanton.
Leading up to Christmas: Nathan met Santa and gave him a long hug, sharing all that love he has in his little heart, Ava decorated the house with her art and beautiful printing, we went to Grandma's to bake cookies, drove through the fantasy of lights, and attended Ava's Winter sing along. There was lots of Christmas spirit about :)
Hailey came for 7 days the on the 26th and we rang in the New Year with Grandpa Great in Pleasanton.
We missed our east coast family, but kept in touch through face time and instagram, hence all the photos. :)
