christmas is over

Whew! I can't believe I haven't filled in on all the Christmas fun. Everyone made it to my parents and we had a nice family weekend before the holiday. We opened some presents Christmas Eve as my brother was leaving early in the morning. We went to church Christmas eve after writing a letter for Santa which surprisingly included a number of items not previously included in any prior Christmas listss or discussions!! Charlie promptly fell asleep at Church and Heather threatened to burn the building down with her lit candle and under Grandma's supervision but we all made it through. The kids loved waking up christmas morning to find a note from Santa and presents under the tree. The kids were delighted with MORE presents!! and seemed to have enough to enjoy. Charlie almost went into spasms after opening a few wiggles gifts while heather was more subedued in her reactions.

jeff and I packed up the car and toys and headed up to his brother's in the early afternoon for a few hours of fun with cousins and dinner before heading the rest of the way to his mom's in Cleveland. His brother and his family joined us the 26th for yet another present opening session and more ooh's and aahs. the kids always have a blast with their cousins and all managed to share the new toys pretty well.

Jeff, his mom and the kids went to teh movies today while I worked on my reports and Charlie came back to report, "ho, ho, ho Merry Christmas...WAIT...Christmas is over." jeff's prompting I'm sure had something to do with this declaration.

We enjoyed reading christmas cards, seeing pictures, and e-mails from everyone who kept in touch. keep up the good work!
