We had a fantastic Christmas. We started our Christmas with Isaiah on 12/23 by having a lovely dinner at home and then going to Bentleyville; an awesome Christmas Light Display at Bayfront Park. It was a cold evening, but it was so fun to be surrounded by all the holiday cheer and the fun light display. We headed home and opened a few presents under the tree.
On Christmas Eve, we packed up the car and headed downtown for Homeless Memorial that my work puts on every year to remember the homeless throughout Duluth who died in the past year. It was a moving memorial service and a beautiful way to begin Christmas; thinking about those without a home and possibly without family to spend the holidays with. We then headed to St. Cloud to be with Nathan's parents. We enjoyed a lovely dinner and then a beautiful 10 PM mass at St. John's University. We weren't sure how Isaiah would hold up, but he did pretty well. It did affect his sleep a little for the weekend, but it was worth it.
On Christmas Day we woke up and enjoyed a relaxing day by playing games, going for a walk, having a bon fire and then another big, tasty meal. The day after Christmas was when we were able to celebrate with the Langer family. Again, more wonderful food and great time with family. Isaiah had a blast playing with cousins who he doesn't get to see very often.
My dad and sister were supposed to come up the week after Christmas, but unfortunately, due to weather they had to cancel their trip. This allowed Nathan, Isaiah and I to have six full days together to just hang out, have some fun and get some things done around the house. Nathan and I even got to go on two dates!! It was a wonderful week spending so much time together as family.
