Christmas Day :0)

We had a wonderful Christmas day in the Garrett household. One blessing was that I ended up not having to go into work Christmas Eve so I was able to get a decent amount of sleep during normal sleeping hours! Aaron and I slept in Christmas morning and then headed to one of the few grocery stores open until 3pm. After a short play date with Bandit's friend Winston, we headed home to cook our Christmas meal. It was fun to cook together and bring food traditions together. Aaron wonderfully prepared candied yams and delicious green beans while I made mom's good ol' ham. And of course we had mashed potatoes and crescent rolls! With enough food for 8 we were ready to sit down and enjoy It's a Wonderful Life and open some gifts. Though we missed family dearly, we were thankful for a quiet evening of warm food and quality time spent together.
