I wish this season could last all year long...Ok, I don't really cry, but it is kinda a let down 'cause I LOVE Christmas! I have had a wonderful long break from work and a great Christmas celebration with Jim, the kids & my family. We had a quiet Christmas Eve, ate tortellini soup and talked about the symbols of this time of year and watched The Nativity. Christmas morning the kids were stoked to find a new bike for Arielle and a guitar and shoes for Toby. We had a nice morning opening gifts then the kids ran around the neighborhood with their friends and checked out everyone's new loot. On the day after Christmas we went to my parents. We were there for 5 fun filled days...FAMILY...gifts...food...chuck e cheese...hogel zoo lights...sledding at Daybreak...girls' night of shopping & Twilight...COUSINS...Anna & Arielle BFF time (2 sleepovers)...ticket to ride game nights...Olive Garden traditional dinner with Meg & Sheaner...New Year's Eve goofing around (yes Ash I'm talking about you & I dancing ) and on and on... Jim and I even snuck in a night out for our anniversary celebration! That's right- amongst all the holiday chaos we celebrated 13 years of marriage! The spirit of Christmas, family and friends was burning bright. We are so thankful for Jesus Christ, good jobs, our health, our family, and great friends (just to name a few...). Now we have one more quiet weekend before we go back to the grind. Ready or not, 2009 is here! Happy New Year!!!
