We had our first true white Christmas ever (at least that I can remember)! Christmas morning we woke up to snow and it continued to snow and snow most of the day. Now I have to say, I'm not one who thoroughly enjoys the snow, except for that one day each year, and it actually happened. It probably topped off the best Christmas this Kelly family has ever had.
We were privileged to have both sets of parents join us for Christmas. Matt's parents came from California, as well as his sister Kandis and husband Nick, and my parent's and brother came over Christmas morning. We opened presents, had a little buffet of snack trays filled with all sorts of goodies, we played with all our new toys, went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, and played lots of Guitar Hero. The boys really raked it in as usual. I tried to have a little talk with Brayden before bed about how blessed he is, and to remember there are children and people out there who don't have as much as we do. It seemed to have soaked in a little because then he went out and announced to everyone that we didn't need to go out the next day to get Guitar Hero III, like we planned, cuz we were already lucky to have Guitar Hero II. No one else like the sound of that too much, and we ended up getting it anyway.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year!
