A great Christmas

Fosters had a great Christmas this year. Pictures to come--I actually didn't take very many, so I am waiting to get some from other people.

We spend Christmas eve with the Fosters (Matt's parents). My good friend Sijun and her boyfriend came over and spent some time with us. We went to Christmas Even Candlelight communion at church, followed by dinner. We've had a soup and sandwich tradition for a few years. It was yummy! Had lots of good conversation with Sijun and Zhi Gang. Followed by super fun hats made by Granfoster and digging into our stockings. We decided to forgo giving each other gifts and just fill stockings. Instead of giving Anna lots more toys she doesn't need, and each other things that might or might not get used, we each gave that money where we felt lead to (And Anna still got a few fun toys, too :). I REALLY like this tradition and am glad we are have started it when Anna is young.

Sijun spent the night with us and we had a quiet Christmas morning. Took a very chilly walk and hung out at the house. After Anna's nap we went over to visit Grandmuzze who is still in the rehab hospital recovering from her broken hip and surgery. Then off to my sisters house. The kiddos were in full process of opening presents when we got there. Anna is still very much enjoying her new animal zoo set, baby stroller, and shopping cart full of "food". Had a great, laidback time with lots of laughs and good conversations.

I love my family! 2010 was a very Merry Christmas indeed!
