Splendidly Blended Christmas

Here is a little insight to holidays with our blendedness…

We were all joined together this morning and spent the whole day together. We had Christmas at our house, ate some breakfast, the kids opened presents, we goofed off a little and then headed to my mother in law’s house. Yes, all of us. It was as if this family I was surrounded with had been my family my entire life. We told stories, made jokes, and got to love on a beautiful newborn baby. There was no drama, no attitudes, and lots of love.

When the kids are reunited it’s as if they never spent time apart. They are siblings and this means sibling arguments are inevitable but it never tears them apart. They show love and kindness even when things get tough.

Some of my favorite moments are when us coparents team up in a playful manner against each other. Now I know what you are thinking, but it is not that… me and my wifey team up on our men. We are goofy, understanding, and have a great time. We have connected like many people find impossible. Silly people forget that with God all things are possible.

It is not a competition, it is about creating the best life we can for our kids and making it enjoyable for us as well.

Christmas is tough for many people, including myself. However, this Christmas was the perfect mixture of relaxation and fun with the family.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
