Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Christmas is my favorite time of year! This year, we get to go to Minnesota for Christmas to celebrate with my family. Christmas Day will be spent with my parents, my brother, and my niece--the first time the immediate family has all been together since 2001! Then, two days later, December 27th, we'll be participating in another Christmas celebration with my mom's entire side of the family. Every year, the Ganun family gets together and this year, the entire family is coming in from all over the country for what will likely be the last Christmas gathering where we are all together. I'm totally looking forward to it--aunts, uncles, cousins, my cousin's kids, my grandparents will all be there (about 40 people total!). This year's Christmas celebration with the Ganun family will also coincide with Brennan's first birthday! So...all 40 people will also be at his first birthday party! It'll be quite the gathering!

To help facilitate getting in the Christmas spirit (because, quite frankly, standing in line at Kohl's for one hour on Black Friday helped facilitate quite the opposite of Christmas cheer), I pulled out a bunch of Christmas decorations to start getting the house ready. Brennan wasn't quite sure what to think of all the stuff I was setting out. But, then we started to have fun with the Santa hat and reindeer antlers. Ah, feel that Christmas spirit!
