My parents (aka Grandma Susan and Grandpa Russ) have been visiting us since Saturday. We have had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company and, of course, playing with Austin. He just eats up the attention...he is one loved little boy.
Mom and I made cinnamon rolls yesterday, in keeping with longstanding family tradition. One little twist, though--we ate them for breakfast this morning while un-stuffing our stockings instead of as part of a Christmas brunch. Who wants to wait until 11AM? They were delicious as always and I'm looking forward to leftover cinnamon rolls tomorrow...or maybe tonight.
Zach and I decided to start a new family tradition, too. We made nativity scene cookies and decorated them, then used them to tell the Christmas story. Austin was not really an active participant this year but we hope in the future it will be a way to keep the true reason for Christmas at the forefront of his mind. I know, we're not going to win any awards for our decorating skills but they tasted good and we enjoyed sharing the Christmas story together.
