Yes, I know it’s January, but, hey, I’ve been busy! So, here it is, our Christmas update. We weren’t able to cut our own tree, since Don was recuperating from shoulder surgery. We went to a tree lot. We finally found one, didn’t quite realize how fat it was. There was no way we could have gotten it into our old house! It was HUGE! It drank TONS of water. I think we could have drained our pool with this tree! We spent days decorating it! We spent Christmas eve at my cousins house along with 30 of our closest relatives. It was chaotic, it was loud and it was fun. The kids did an excellent job of waiting to open the mass amount of gifts. Since they didn’t get much nap that day, and they went to bed way late, they slept until 8:45! I can’t remember them ever sleeping that late. ! A gift to their tired parents. It was wonderful, though I kept wondering when they were going to wake up and if they were ok… Once they woke up, they ran down stairs, to open stockings. We had breakfast then started with the gifts from Dons family. Didn’t get too far before Lisa and Patty showed up. Mom and Russ went to church and showed up at 11:30 exactly! They must have flown down the freeway! Once the gifts were mostly open, the songs sung, the food eaten, they left to go to my Aunts’ house while we stayed here and slept. It was great. I do love seeing Christmas through the kids’ eyes. Since everyone had time off, we did lots of park visiting, a bunch of cookie baking and just had fun. It was difficult getting up the first morning of pre k, though I think the kids were looking forward to seeing their friends again. And, lets face it, I was looking forward to time off.
