Well, we have survived Christmas and with honors. We dID the most sain thing and did not stress. We focus on the things we want and not necessarily what the rest of the extended family want. After all there are 364 other days to meet, why squeeze it in on one specific.. But we (OK, I) made the major mistake to exclude a personal visit from Santa. That will not happen again until the boys have moved out, major disappointment…

Now we are gearing up for Sam’s birthday. Need to go shopping tomorrow… me and the rest of the world I guess…
