Happy New Year

Recap of Christmas morning: my kids said it was the best ever!!! Santa was totally a hit this year. Yeah, for Santa!! Anyway, my son is getting older and although he thought he was old enough for a cell phone(yea, right!), that is not what Santa brought for him. He didn't ask for too much this year so it was really hard. I guess the main thing was the Wii and, of course, all the games Santa brought with it. Not to mention, the games Nana got for him and Guitar Hero III his uncle gave him. That really made his Christmas.

Ashlyn, on the other hand, was so easy which I guess girls are just that way. She was also very happy with the Wii and games, but most of all was her American Girl Kit. She absolutely loves her. When she didn't see Kit under the tree she automatically assummed Santa forgot to bring her, but Santa left her as a wrapped gift so it took her a little while to find her. She takes Kit with her everywhere now. Her Nana also got her Kit's bed which she was wanting and her aunt bought her the Cupcake Maker. She said she would just be happy with those items and believe me she was.

Ok, a little late, but we've been busy the past two weeks and been enjoying our break. We took the Christmas tree down yesterday and all the inside decorations, so it's time for 2009. My husband is still in Christmas mode. He hasn't taken the decorations down on the outside yet. It probably won't happen for a couple more days because the weather is so nasty now. Anyway, we're back to school and trying to get off to a good start this year. I hope everyone else's holiday was as peaceful and rested as ours!!
