This was a very blessed Christmas! With the exception of the loss of Paul's grandfather this year, our family is in good health, I am on my way to settling in my career, Paul's graduation is getting closer everyday, and we are still in love with each other. We also had an abundance of lovely presents to give to each other. (as you can see in the pictures!)
I decided that I would start the tradition of giving books to the children in our family. As a new teacher and a lover of books myself, I knew that books would be meaningful. I had a blast in Barnes & Noble picking out books for all the people I love.
We spent Christmas Eve first, with my family at Grandma and Grandpa Warder's, then went to my Dad's, then saw Paul's brother Aaron for his birthday, then to Aunt Lu and Uncle Jim's for Pozole and Sam's annual reading of The Polar Express, and finally to Mom's for hot chocolate and sleep. Christmas morning was lovely at Mom's new house, with the exception of me being sicker than a dog by this time! We exchanged Christmas presents with Paul's side of the family in the afternoon. I was getting sicker by the minute and actually could not participate in dinner because of it. I was in bed for two days after that! Despite the nasty flu, it was a Christmas filled with fun and love.
