Well....we pulled it off. Christmas that is. I wasn't sure it was going to happen this year, but it did despite the fact we remodeled the office/classroom and our 2 bathroom just days before. I had absolutely no Christmas spirit leading up to the big day. But must say, i enjoyed the actual day just as much as in years past.
An interesting development this year, Santa wrapped the gifts and even wrapped the door leading in to the living room. The kids loved it. the big ticket item this year was a 3ds for each of them. Lily also got tights, a peace sign messanger bookbag, and leggings. Luke got an automatic pencil sharpener, socks, and fireworks (which ended up being a HUGE hit with him).
Mom and Dad came down around 0900. The Crowells came at 1130, only a half hour late, and Doris came around 1150. We ate hoagies as we pleased and snacked on junk through out the day. Mom made her famous chocolate cake w/ peanut butter icing for Baby Jesus' birthday cake. She also made vanilla cupcakes for Lily who prefers vanilla to chocolate.
We were all pretty healthy this year. Fighting colds, but we managed to keep them at bay.
Yesterday Charlie split firewood out in the back forty while I took the kids to Ballocity for 4 hours. Good times.
