Christmas Blessings

The wrapping is gone, the toys strewn about.  The tree is still standing, thou a little tousled in appearance.  The tins of cookies are down to the crumbs, the left overs are stacked precariously in the fridge.  Band Hero and Lego Rockband are suppling the theme music for the day, and I can't believe it's over already!

It was a wonderful Christmas.  Miss Sunshine was in her glory.  Santa brought her a shopping cart that she is head over heels for, and mom and dad got her a doll that she truly hasn't let out of her sight since opening it.  It was wonderful to watch the joy in her eyes at all the magic of the season.

The boys had there expectations met and more.  Even the tween seemed happy with his loot.  Mother nature blessed us with a fabulous snowstorm.  It felt like we were living in a snow globe for much of the holiday!  One set of grandparents came and got stranded which was great fun.  Unfortunately the other side got stranded at home and didn't make it.  That was the only damper on the holiday.

We now have a week of vacation for all of us.  I forsee game playing, fort building, a little room cleaning, some re-organizing, and mostly family time together.  Can't wait!

Enjoy the pics!
