We left rainy Southern California on Christmas Eve to have a white Christmas in South Dakota. It was a very quick trip as we flew in on that Friday and left the following Monday. Brynn handled the cold weather much better over Christmas than she did over Thanksgiving. The trip was packed with family events as we tried to see as many people as possible.
Christmas this year made me reflect on how blessed we all are to have the family and friends we have. And despite how I am sometimes reluctant to attend all of the Holiday gatherings that seem to pop up, I need to remember that they are hosted out of love. And it does not matter if there are 5 or 50 people in the room, that that love is contagious and brings joy to everyone and is what makes family and friends so special. Cameron and I have been blessed to have the love and support of family and friends over the years. And as parents we want Brynn to be brought up in that same environment. Those numerous Holiday gatherings help show her, even at a very young age, how important family and friends are and how lucky we are to have them.
