Whoo Hoo...They are over for another year. I love them but It's at this point, as the kids are getting on the bus and being ferried away to school, that I am always happy to see the holidays leave. It's not usually for most people's reason. I'm not always eager to have the kids gone and I prefer the unstructured days when they are home. It's nice to see the holidays leave, along with all their hustle and bustle, and for life to resume it's normal hum drum.
It was a great year this year. We were able to celebrate a little early with my mom up here close to home. Then it was a car ride 5 hours away and two nights in a hotel to spend Christmas eve and Christmas down with my dad and family and hubby's parents and family. Two dinners, lots of excitement, a sing a long, some pool time at the hotel and back home. Next came a wonderful cookie baking and decorating day for the kids with a couple of close friends of ours, a new hedgehog and hermit crabs welcomed into the house, skating party for new years with my younger brother and sister spending a couple of nights and to wind it all up, yesterday was a 3D movie experience for the kids with one of their favorite Aunties.
Today they are on the bus and back at school, the sun is starting to come up, the chores are calling and normal life resumes.
What a wonderful time we had with family. What fortunate kids I have. So many people to care about them and love them and welcome them into their homes. Thanks again to everyone for their generosity this season. Hope your holidays were as wonderful as ours.
