christmas 2009

Getting in the Christmas spirit was difficult this year because of being so busy with school, work, and internship. Most shopping was done online in the wee hours of the night and only a few batches of cookies were made. Christmas eve rolled around and things changed. We had James on Wed night and were planning on opening gifts in the morning. He was up early and so excited. We had a nice big breakfast and opened gifts and spent the rest of the morning/afternoon enjoying them. Christmas eve night was spent with my dad's family and James went to his mom's. We picked James back up at 10 christmas morning for the first time without having to wait forever. That whole scenario worked out well this year...usually that puts a big damper on things. We headed to my mom's side for most of the day and finished the night at dave's mom's. I had a terrible headache so christmas day was a long one. Sat we spent the day relaxing from the late nights/early mornings. Today we finished the festivities at my mom's. It was a great christmas for all...we all received much more than we needed. I know I am looking forward to having this week off from work and school...hoping to get things done and rest for a very full next couple of months.
