We had a wonderful first Christmas with Maeve this year! Collin and Brennen explained to her that Christmas is all about Jesus' birthday, and that this great guy, Santa, brings lots of gifts to help everyone celebrate! Maeve may not have understood the Jesus/Santa part, but she had the gift thing all figured out!
Each year, in lieu of exchanging gifts with the O'Keeffe side of the family, we all go on vacation together. This has become a very fun and memorable tradition for all of us, especially for the kids. All of the little cousins have so much fun together and don't miss opening presents one bit. We typically go to an indoor waterpark resort, and who wouldn't choose going down a waterslide while there's a blizzard outside over opening a gift?
This year we went to "Fun City" in Burlington, Iowa. The resort has an indoor waterpark, an arcade, go-carts, a bowling alley, rock climbing and laser tag. We had a blast!
