Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Ours was not "White" but we enjoyed it anyway. The kids spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with me this year, so that was nice. I was so happy I got to have Andrew here to wake up with all his Santa gifts. That little guy was up at 6:00, running down the stairs to see what he got. I heard him exclaim with sheer joy "Santa came" when he saw, and so I jumped out of bed to go see him. He was flabbergasted. There is nothing like seeing the joy on your child's face Christmas morning. Nothing like it. I really missed that having with the older boys. So glad I get to enjoy this with Drew Drew a few more years, although rotating holidays with their dad means I won't have him Christmas morning next year. We had our nice dinner Christmas Eve. I made a nice ham, potato casserole, salad, bread, etc. I had apple pie, but we never got to it. We were all too stuffed. Christmas morning I made eggs and bacon and Tina made cinnamon rolls, while kids and Ruthi tried to put Drew's toys together. Brady finally managed on his own. I took the boys to their dad at noon, and they (lucky devils) got to do it all again. It was a good holiday. It was nice to have family here for once. Family is so important. It's sad, it usually takes a holiday to remind us of that fact. I am so grateful for my family, my sweet boys, and everyone else in my life who lifts and sustains and makes my life enjoyable. Thanks to you all. I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best in the coming new year. WE love you!

You were SAD that you didn't have a white Christmas? :) I'd be sad if I did! It apparently snowed in Portland Christmas Day. I was glad to be somewhere sunny.
