Christmas

We had a great Christmas (Again, this post is very late)! It was the Gardiner's turn to have all the kids spend Christmas at their house. So we spent several days with James' parents, siblings and spouses, and niece and nephews. It was a full house but I think it was the best Christmas this side of the family has spent together yet. We all had a great time playing games, making and eating a LOT of food, exchanging gifts, taking a mini trip, and most importantly remembering the birth of Jesus Christ.

It was so fun to see our nephews and niece get so excited about making cookies for Santa and seeing what he brought them. It was definitely one of the major highlights.







The day after Christmas, we went to Goose Island in Rockport. It was beautiful, but COLD! We got to walk around on the little island made of oyster shells and see a tree that was over 1000 years old. Then we went to eat at a charming restaurant on the water.
