Merry Christmas!

We have been enjoying our Christmas vacation. On Christmas Eve we went into Old Town Square to see the lights and look at the Christmas Market. We forgot that this was prague and everything closes Christmas Eve, including the Christmas Market. Czech's celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve so Old Town Square was very empty when we arrived but that was fine. It made it easier to enjoy all the lights and the beauty around us. On Christmas morning the girls woke up and we had a little breakfast and then started opening presents. Ali made me laugh because after every present she would ask if there were anymore. It was like she couldn't believe there were all these presents for her. After ripping through all the presents we had a very lazy day of playing with toys, eating and watching movies. This is the second year in a row that we have made a beef tenderloin with a blue cheese sauce for our Christmas meal and it was delicious. The day after Christmas (Boxing Day) we went to our friends house out of town. They had recently moved out of town and we hadn't seen them as much so it was great to visit them. Their new house was beautiful. We had fun hanging out and we went for a walk down to the river as well. It was very cold out so it was quite a refreshing walk. We ended up carrying Ali most of the way back but I didn't mind. I wasn't surprised she was cold since my hands and feet were frozen too. I think today we will head into town for some ice skating. I will post later about that.
