My whole family was home for Christmas this year and it was a fun Christmas eve filled with some of the traditions of my childhood and a few new ones :)! The kids had SO much fun with their cousins and loved every moment of it!
The biggest change this year was location! Last December my parents sold my childhood home and downsized! It was a great move for them, but we definitely could not fit at their new place for Christmas. So we were out in Holland at the cottage! It felt different to be out there for Christmas, but it's just the start of a new tradition! It really is perfect because we all fit :)! (26 people!)
It was a great time and I am so thankful for all my amazing siblings and my parents!
