First Christmas in Raleigh

Sunday, December 24

This was the first Christmas we have not been with our extended family. This was also the first Christmas we did not have snow. Although it did not feel like a traditional holiday and we missed everyone back home, we did appreciate the relaxing atmosphere. We didn't worry about forgetting gifts or running late to see everyone.

Nora and Hanna were very happy to open and play with their gifts in their new home. Sam had the best time ripping the wrapping off his presents but after he got his first toy out of the box, he lost interest in opening the rest of his gifts. Luckily his sisters volunteered to assist him.
