We made it through another holiday season. Except for the annual sojourn to Canada, this was one of the simplest and peaceful holidays yet.
I expect the reason for the calm is this is the first year in over six years that John actually has a job and can take paid holidays for Christmas! We slept in almost every morning, played with our new Wii, watched every Indiana Jones Movie, and The Dark Knight, and Narnia Prince Caspian...
I have come to believe this is really what the holiday's should be. A chance to reconnect with family - not just the extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins once removed - but the family you run to practices and games, music lessons and concerts, friends parties and sleepovers; the family you live with and take for granted everyday!
So here's to family - my family and yours. May we all find time to just "be" with each other in 2009!

Glad you had such a wonderful holiday.. Sounds perfect. WE too slept in late every day(mostly due to staying up late every night LOL) The kids got a Wii for christmas also and we spent most of our time playing Wii as a family tossed in a few friends and extened family a time or two but had an enjoyable time at home.. DH was laid off from Dec 18 till tomorrow so we had alot of family time together and it was great.
