Our second Christmas was at Allison’s grandparent’s house. We went there to celebrate with her brother and sister-in-law, their kids and Allison’s cousins and their kids.

I started playing catch with him inside, just lightly tossing it around. I could see it was starting to get more active so I went out with all the kids to throw it around. We had a fun time playing.
Allison brought along some more of her cinnamon rolls, fruit salad and more. Allison’s brother made us sausage and pasta for dinner. We were also covered for desserts as Allison made a Swiss chocolate pie. It was a very nice day spent with family. We enjoyed our time with everyone.

For Eva it was like a library came and dropped off half their collection. She received a ton of different Star Wars books and she was so excited about that. Santa brought her the original trilogy and then I got a bunch of great books from Disney Publishing about characters like Luke, Han and Leia. There is even a book with stories about Rey, Finn and Poe before The Force Awakens. She also received a book of Everything you need to know about Star Wars. She loves that book.
