"Just Us" Christmas

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

Christmas is a busy time for our little family. Both of our work schedules are pretty hectic, we have a few holiday parties, and then the actual holidays are spent with our families. A few years ago, we started carving out some time for a "just us" Christmas where we open our stockings and gifts together. This year, we ended up moving this up quite a bit since we are flying out to Seattle a few days before Christmas Day.

Garrett and I both left work early and came home to start the "just us" celebration. We started with appetizers and stockings.




We then moved on to the presents. Baxter was very confused, but eventually decided that this was a pretty awesome weeknight activity.




We finished up with a very nice dinner prepared by Garrett - steamed mussels and clams, green beans. and crusty bread. Delicious!

Merry Christmas!
