We had a wonderful Christmas holiday with lots of family time. We spent Christmas eve at my parent’s house, where we got to see all of my family, some of Zach’s family and some close family friends as well. Food, family, friends and gifts…it was magnificent. Taylor’s grandma C.R., great-uncle Steve and great-aunt Dot came up to stay with us for the Christmas festivities. T.J. was beside herself with excitement to see them, showing them around and talking up a storm. Three extra people in the house meant that there was always someone to play with her or read to her or sing to her – she was in seventh heaven. Christmas day was filled once again with food, family and more gifts, first at our house, then back to my folks. Between Christmas eve and Christmas day, there was very little sleep and LOTS of stimulation. I’m always amazed at how long T.J.’s motor can run on very little charge. She did remarkably well – no major meltdowns – but by the time Christmas was over, she was completely done-in. Wednesday was spent just decompressing and reflecting on what a great holiday we had. Experiencing the holiday season with Taylor makes it so much more enjoyable – I think it was one of my favorite Christmases ever.
