It's all over! All of the parities and presents and food.
We had a very nice Christmas. My parents arrived the Saturday before Christmas (after a 4 hour delay) and were here to celebrate with us. We went to Hershey, PA to the hotel for dessert and through their amazing light display. We went out for a lovely lunch on Christmas eve and then to a children's church service where the kids joined in as an angel and a sheep.
The kids were so excited on Christmas eve. They put out their reindeer food and left cookies out for Santa. Grandpa read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". When I put the girl to bed she said "Mommy, I can't sleep, I'm too excited" and 5 minutes later she was out. At 7:30 a.m. she woke me up and said, "Can I got knock on every one's doors and wake them up now?" We told them they couldn't go downstairs without all of us!
Oh, and their faces when they walked in and saw the tree and presents! Priceless!
After a marathon present opening session, we had breakfast and lingered in our pjs for a while before cleaning up and going to our friend's house for appetizers. We then came back for a nice dinner.
Friday we headed out of town to Williamsburg, Virginia. It was nice but the weather was awful...rain off and on all day Saturday and it poured on Sunday. The kids were a bit young for Colonial Williamsburg but they had some neat kids activities going on that they enjoyed.
After dropping my parents off in Baltimore on Sunday night we headed home. They had a flight out on the 31st but we decided we didn't need to stay - we wouldn't have done much if we had stayed.
Now, everyone is back to school and work. I have today to get myself in gear and then it's back to work for me too!
