When Sam arrived on Christmas Eve's Eve, the family unit was finally complete! We celebrated in very traditional fashion way and popped some bubbly! We toasted to the first family reunion since
Labor Day 2009.
As Sarah and Mom slaved away in the kitchen, I mostly focused on Christmas cookie aesthetics. As you can see above, it was tough work! Once the sugar cookies were sufficiently iced and delicately decorated, we sat down for one of many awesome holiday meals. I took a break from staring at my plate as I scarfed down the deliciousness to take in the scenery. Quite possibly the best view:
Holiday traditions continued after dinner with Christmas movie viewing parties downstairs. We stuck to the classics like White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, and (of course) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Even Arney joined in on the fun. You know- if you scratch his belly, he will love you till the day you die.
