Christmas time is my favorite time of year. And it goes without saying that it is also the craziest time of year - barring summer vacation but we'll get to that. I've been barely hanging on the last few weeks with pageants, teacher gifts, extra cooking... all while the kiddos are sick and Tyler, who is also sick, works six days a week. It sure doesn't help when we literally celebrate four birthdays, my in laws anniversary, and Christmas all alongside of eachother. But we take it all in stride, along with the rest of the busy families out there, thankful for those we have this holiday season. When I started writing this, I had lots of funny anecdotes to share but somehow it has taken a sentimental turn as we mourn with the nation this week. This is further evidenced by the fact that I let my oldest lay down with me for a nap instead of in his own bed where he will actually get some rest.... (never mind that in his glee, he woke the baby, who demanded to be held and my Big Boy was then left to play in my bed alone.... Not that he minded that one bit.
All the Christmas parties are making the babies a little on edge. So as my Youngest bangs his head on the floor screaming because his little nerves are frayed by extra sugar, I bid you all a good afternoon and hopefully a more cheerful mood than I am in right now.
Cheers
