I hope everyone had a great holiday season! They go so fast, don't they? All that lead up and then, BOOM! it is over.
We had an eventful holiday healthwise, with Carol needing an emergency pacemaker on Christmas Eve night. But even with that, I think we all, Carol included, found time to enjoy each other. We never go anywhere on Christmas Day. It is a great tradition to have. Mallory and I always get matching pjs on Christmas Eve, another tradition, and we stay in them all day on Christmas. The kids all enjoyed their gifts and family time on that day. They also enjoyed hearing the Christmas read, as their dad does every year.
New Year's Eve was great! We had a party in our almost finished basement. We had a ton of friends and lots of kids everywhere. Just the way I like it....the more the merrier! Oh and the food was yummy!
My favorite gift to receive this year was a family YMCA membership. Seth and I have been going right after school every day. We do the track and then he plays ball while I use the wellness center. The Y has a fun atmosphere!
My favorite gift to give was Seth's new cell phone. He loves it! About 6 months ago he started caampaigning for it. He even wrote an essay, made copies and posted them all around the house for his dad to see and be convinced. In the end we decided to get him an ice blue Chocolate and so far he has been very responsible.
I hope that your 2008
is truly great!
