Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to you all!

We've finished opening presents, and now the boys are busy playing their new video games, and listening to their new cd's. They also smell very good from the new cologne. They were always coming into our bathroom to use their dad's :) Later we will go to my mother and father-in-laws to continue the festivities. My husband has been sick with the same stomach bug that I had, so that has been no fun. Last night we were going to go to the Plaza, have dinner, and see the lights, but we have postponed that until next week. At least it won't be so crowded as it would have been on Christmas Eve. My youngest son, Roman, and I baked biscotti on Thursday, and we had so much fun singing along to Dean Martin. He helped me last year also, and I definitely want to continue that tradition. Dave and I also went to a party that night, and I had such a good time. I love to dress up and go out!
This week has been fairly relaxed. I didn't go overboard on baking or shopping. Everything has been kept simple, which cuts down on the amount of anxiety I have. The boys helped a lot with decorating. They have grown up so much, and I do appreciate the extra help. Even though it took me awhile to get into the holiday spirit, it has been a great Christmas, and I'm feeling very blessed. I'm so thankful for all of the love surrounding me.
