WE waited for 1 1/2 hours to get to see this man with the white beard... The things we do for our kids. Crazy huh?
Well, it all has come and gone.... We anticipate that one day, and it is gone it seems in fleeting moments. I hope you all had as great a Christmas as we did.. It took us approximately 7 hours give or take a few to open all of our gifts this year. We like to let the kids enjoy their gifts and incorporate some play time into the manic removal of paper and bows. It is wonderful to see their faces light up with each gift.. We had Mimi and Papa here too. It was the first year we were away from them and they got to come down. It was a really good day.
We went to Aunt Elaines for their family Christmas on Sunday. It was really good too. I love seeing all of them. They are a wonderful family. It was kindof different too. Uncle Don had passed away in March and his daughter Polly and her grandmother also passed away this year too. It was a hard year for all of them. I hope they were able to remember them and have fun at the same time. As one of the "family outsiders" (inlaws) I can say that i am very blessed to be in a family like this one, they are so welcoming.
We are all looking forward to our new Christmas party with my family in Camden this weekend.
My kids always get excited about seeing all of their cousins. I cant wait to grill out burgers or steaks or something other than ham..... Haha. Actually, i really missed getting to be there on Christmas morning, but we have started our own tradition with the kids getting new pjs on Christmas eve and pj day all day on Christmas.... THe kids love it!!!
This year on Christians list at the top, was a puppy. I regret to say that i have not found the right one yet. We had, but did not move quickly enough. He was gone within 3 days. It is a daunting thing to look at puppy after puppy online. Did u know there are over 200,000 in the petfinder database alone? I never did until now. Anyway, if you know of anyone with baby (less than 10 weeks) lab and sheperd mix puppies. let me know. We are slowly recovering from the chaos of Christmas, but did enjoy the love and spirit of it all. I now have the pictures i was going to post for you to view. Hope u like them.
