Homespun Truth

Just like everyone else, the last few days have been a crazy blur, but they've been a lot of fun too.

This year I was done shopping early enough to be in bed by 11 on Christmas Eve, instead of racing Santa to the tree. Some years it felt like I only slept a tiny bit, oh wait, that was this year too. The Little Mr.'s were so excited. This was a Christmas Magic sort of year. They were in our room, jumping on the bed, screaming about Santa at 5:AM. They even did the unthinkable. They turned on the lights.

At 5 AM our coffee pot has not yet even turned on. It was a jolly year of excitement. They were quite happy all the way around.

Our holiday frenzy is really just begining.

Tomorrow, a nephew will officially join the family. We will go to court to hear the Judge say, he belongs to you. There will be visits from some long lost friends in the next 5 days. There will be a Christmas brunch with lots of extended family. There will be cousins. There will be more cousins. There will be New Years.

We will then rest, briefly, and return to our regular lives.

Last but not least, a picture of my Christmas Mister's.
