We survived!

We survived yet another Christmas!  It was not without it's drama, though.  However, it all worked out and everyone had a good time.  We won't have to "host" the family holiday again for 4 more years.  Which is a great thing.

My son had to have his wisdom teeth extracted the day before Christmas Eve, so he didn't get to enjoy all the food.  He slept most of the day, to be honest.  But, he had a great time Christmas Day opening all of his gifts; a new DVD player, an MP3 Player, a new coat, a foot soaking gift basket for when he has his foot surgery, and of course, Yu-Gi-Oh Cards, his most prized gift!  James, my husband, got a telescope, and I got a new rolling pin, a CandyLand Game, and a tea gift basket.  So, we all ended up with some nice things.

Now, it's time for New Year's Eve.  What do you have planned?  After much deliberation, we have decided to have a nice, quiet time at home with just the three of us.  We may get some chips and dips, but other than that, we're staying off the roads and staying home. 

For New Year's Day, all the Christmas decorations will come down and be packed up.    Then, life will be back to normal....let's hope.  I still have one week of school left, then, I begin another class, with observations. 

The only New Year's resolution I have made is to get through the next 3 classes, 24 weeks with no major incidents.  Let's hope that happens.

So here's to a new year, new dreams, new hopes, new crafts, new recipes, and new memories.

Happy New Year, everyone!
