Christmas Eve Morning

We had the chance to spend Christmas with Mike, Kelly, Felix and Theo as they came back east for the first time during the holidays.  Even though Theo was a bit under the weather, we had such a great time with them.  After a few minutes of awkwardness, the kids picked up where the left off and got along so well.  They are conspirators and friends, despite the age difference, and the fact that they rarely see each other and have very little in common.  We had dinner and watched a movie together our first day in NH, and then enjoyed opening presents together on the morning of Christmas Eve.  It was a morning filled with laughter and joy, and a few tears of remembrance.
