Christmas

This year was kind of bittersweet. It was Madison's first Christmas which was exciting to read her Christmas stories and open presents (mostly she just played with the wrapping paper) and play with her new toys. On the other hand we were pretty homesick and missing Adam's dad:( We just tried to keep ourselves busy. On Christmas Eve we attended a carol service at the beautiful Ely Cathedral and on Christmas Day we celebrated with the Royals.  The Royal family has a Christmas house about an hour away so this being our last Christmas in England we had to take advantage and get a peek at the royal family! Every year the family walks to the Church on their property for service. The public lines up along the path and the Royals greet people along their walk. We got there pretty early so we got a really good spot! There were an estimated 3,000 people there! After their service children line up to present to Queen with flowers which happened to be right in front of us! It was pretty exciting- we got to see Prince William, Kate, Prince Harry, some of the cousins and of course the Queen, just feet away!
