The day after...

Here I sit... cup of hot chocolate in hand, peeking at the snow falling (slowly turning into sleet...yuck), and watching Scrooge (the old version) on television.  Bob is out on a guys afternoon/evening with some guys from work and the kiddos are napping.  Me time!  Kind of! 



I will back date some posts as soon as I can... I really want to enjoy all the time I can with Morgan and RJ which means keeping myself off of all things Internet.

I have been a bit out of the Christmas spirit... not fair that I came down with a migraine illness Saturday morning that kept me in bed off and on all day Saturday and all day Sunday.  Bummer that I missed the Moyer-Rounay get together on Sunday.  Bummer that I didn't get my wrapping and last minute shopping done until Monday when I felt a little bit better, hence making it a late night... BUT I must be thankful for all that I have been given.  ...and still praying that Morgan or RJ don't get a bug I might have been harboring. 

Santa arrived and we had a marvelous Christmas morning.  Bob stayed up to open gifts before falling into bed exhausted.  We headed to MeMom and Pop Pop's for the rest of the day where the kiddos got spoiled rotten by grandparents and aunts/uncles.  (So did Bob and I... thank you!!)

As I sit here I think I should be cleaning up and organizing ALL of our new things but instead I am sitting here remembering what Christmas is all about.  The birth of Jesus, the joy on Morgan and RJ's faces with all of their wonderful gifts, and the gift of family and good friends.  I am truly blessed even if it is hard to remember that sometimes. 

The smiles, laughter, and joy on Morgan's and RJ's faces remind me of my childhood joys and warm my heart.
