Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is in the air. I know this because I see presents everywhere, more cars than normal at the malls and more food has entered my mouth in the past weekend than I care to admit. Strangely enough, though, it is like Christmas in (Massachusetts) July down here. Ok maybe not July...definitely May though. Yesterday the girls were out shopping while the men were home watching the Patriots. We were out in light shirts and no jackets and it was Christmas Eve. It is so nice to not have to be bundled up to get to your car and then overheating in Target. I love it!! While I was hoping to see a few flakes fall just to get into the Christmas spirit, I am happy that our Christmas travels will be enjoyable....for the whole 1.8 miles we have to drive to Todd's house.

Ben is still asleep, obviously not a child who understands Christmas since it is almost 7. I think he will enjoy the presents we have for him here. At Cameron's birthday party, Ben loved the paper and the action....in fact, I dare say he enjoyed it more than his own party a month ago. Now that he is walking all over the place, I think he can really get into it.

Anyway, have to get ready to start the day and then get Ben up for some presents before heading over for our real Christmas where I am willing to bet he is getting a crazy amount of gifts from everyone. Since my mother cannot even remember what she bought at this point because she bought so much, I think it is a safe bet that we will take some gifts for playing now, and use the rest to fill up the minimal remaining space in our storage unit until we move.

Presents and food...what could be better??

Hope everyone enjoys their day! Merry Christmas :)
