Merry Christmas! Blessings at this most wonderful season to you and yours. This was my favorite photo of the kids - I love how Michaela gave herself the rabbit ears...
Phew… am I glad THAT’S over… As much as I love it I'm always sad to see Christmas day finally arrive and then relieved when it's finally over!
I fell into bed at 6 a.m. Christmas morning and the kids were up at 7. I couldn’t open my eyes and Brian let me sleep until 10 or so. I missed the kids’ first reaction but I’m glad I slept. I keep saying I'm not going to stay up so late but I haven't been able to manage it yet...
Brunch was delicious – we had stuffed French toast, hashbrown casserole, muffins and fresh oranges. After it was all cleaned up we started opening gifts. One by one (which is very difficult for the children) we opened them all, enjoying the surprise for each. The children of course got at least one thing they’d asked Santa for. Zachary received his pool table – His letter to Santa had said, “Dear Santa, for Christmas I want a pool table. Size doesn’t matter.” Jacob received his parking garage and Michaela received her Dora talking cash register (and way too many other things.)
And now the recovery begins. Anyone placing any bets as to when all the decorations get completely put away? I'll let you know as soon I'm done...
