Merry Christmas everyone. Rather than do a letter in every Christmas card with all our "info", thought a blog with our family would be more interesting.
This is such a wonderful time of year. We have snow covering the ground outside and it is very cold but it all lends itself to a special Christmas spirit.
We are enjoying all of the festivities there are to do this time of year. Our family, along with most the Stewart clan, headed to the mall last night to see Santa. With a very reluctant Maddie we had the kids picture taken with Santa.
We wish all of you the most wonderful holiday. Hope you will be able to enjoy yourselves. Relax and remember what it is really all about.
I am thinking let's go "Madonna" and not give gifts anymore. ( But mom and dad don't get any ideas, if you already bought them, just go ahead and mail those babies.)
It is the thing that adds to the crazy, hecticness to the season. Unfortunately, the kids have come to expect them. :)
Wish we could see all of you and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and sit around the fire. (Well if my fireplace would ever get finished that is..)
A very wonderful holiday to all of you..
The Stewarts
What a fun visit to Santa with so many cousins. Maddie, you will never, ever be too big to sit on Santa's lap! Remember even last year how Grandma and Grandpa Stewart sat on Jolly Old St. Nick's lap? At Christmas, we are all 'young at heart'!
ReplyDeleteMaddie, I sat on Santa's lap until I got married and then I only stopped because I moved away from where Santa comes to visit...and the family party. Make sure and send some photos when that fireplace is finished!
ReplyDeleteJolie,
ReplyDeleteSo great to get your card and read your blog. I am in the middle of getting out blog set up too. It's a great way to stay in touch. I can't believe how FAST Maddie is growing up. It makes me sad. I sure miss living near family and getting to see her and the others. Please tell her we say hello and miss her! We love you guys and hope you have a great new year. I am sure we'll be in touch soon!!
P.S. The rtAngle family is Rick and Tana Angle. I didn't realize it wouldn't put my name down. :0) So anyway, that's us. I'll email you when I get our blog done. Love, Tana
