Christmas in January...







Now that we are home, tucked in and enjoying our own space... Joe and I decided that the babies still needed to experience Christmas at home. We were hoping to start a family tradition this year and do something that we would do each year... We decided that we will start a tradition next year... and it will NOT be a repeat hospital stay.. Not more holidays in the hospital. It would only be our luck that we would end up in the hospital on Ground Hog's day or Valentine's day this year....
We had dinner as a family and then started to open gifts.. Only to find that the batteries died on the camera... If only something could go right in the Mayernik household. We pushed the pause button and Joe headed to Walgreens for batteries.. We did not want to miss the little bit of Christmas we had left with the babies...

Well after Joe returned from the drugstore.. both babies fell asleep.. We opened our gifts and also theirs'. Not like they would have opened them anyways... January 3rd definitely did not feel like Christmas.. To be completely honest, it felt awkward to open gifts...

What is important is that Christmas is about the birth of Christ our savior... We read a biblical version of the Christmas story with the babies before we put them to bed for the night. Every year we will make sure to remind each of our beautiful children what the true meaning of Christmas really is...
