The Merriest Christmas

I cannot believe Christmas has come and gone! For the first time, in a long time, I feel like it came too fast and I actually was not ready for it to be over! I never felt the stresses of the holidays this year. I actually enjoyed it :)! Santa was good this year!!! Or should I say..Tommy, Lucy and Johnny were all good this year! Tommy got his zhu-zhu pets, video games, magic tricks, and tons of science things. Lucy got her American Girl twins, a stroller for them, and numerous other baby dolls! And Santa brought Johnny a Drum Set!!! Yes... a DRUM SET!!!!! What was Santa thinking you wonder??? I'm currently wondering the same thing :)! However he LOVES them so the smile on his face is worth the endless headaches :). Santa even brought things for all our animals! Patrick got some camping gear which we will need when we go camping this summer for a week! and My WONDERFUL husband got me the camera of my dreams!!! I have been wanting a digital SLR camera for some time now (since we had Tommy) and the fact that I have a really bad track record with my cameras (water damage, dropping them, misplacing them) Patrick continually told me I wasn't ready for a camera like that. So you could imagine my shock and excitement when I opened his gift!!! The camera has been glued to me and the kids are starting to get sick of all my pictures I'm taking. So now I'm photographing the animals :)! Can I just say...I LOVE my camera! And my Husband for trusting me :)! I apologize now if I post way too many pictures now...each picture I'm taking I'm amazed at how good it is :)! Christmas eve, christmas day, and the day after was full of spending time with family and friends. Good times, good food, and good company :)! The kids are wiped out, the house is starting to get back to normal, and I can't believe 2010 is just a few days away!!!
