After Christmas



I'm still working on this years Christmas picture. We had a great Christmas. Auntie Mae Mae, Grandma and Grandpa, and Nana and Papa. The kids had a great time, even though they wanted to take a nap halfway during the gift opening. I forget how excited we all get about Christmas. Even though I am an adult, Christmas still holds a lot of magic for me. I never sleep good the night before, anticipating all of the surprises to come the next morning. I don't think any of us slept well. Now the only thing I have to get under control is my anxiety. I love the excitement, but my anxiety still puts me on edge with it. I wish I could just let go and embrace the mayhem and noise level.
Merry Christmas!

Amen! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I, too, needed a nap! I was almost annoyed that I wasn't able to keep going full boar through all the mayhem because it was so fun but I was so cranky!

I think you girls are too hard on yourselves. You did quite well during the mayhem and I didn't notice a thing except that we were all tired. I think it's a good idea to take a break half way through. I really, really enjoyed the whole day. Thanks Kate for putting up with all of us on Christmas, you were a great mom that day, as always.

I know it's tough. We've had a fairly relaxing Christmas, but I took a nap almost everyday - something I'm not apologizing for anymore. In addition, my heart was racing today as I worry about my children's reactions to having new teachers next Sunday. We just got Natalee going back to church again...
