It is the Sunday evening after Christmas and I still can’t believe Christmas has come and gone already. Will is in the other room watching the original Batman movie from 1966 ( which I watched as a kid ) and Jess is ironing… snow is still falling outside… and aside from 2 work days this coming week, we have another nice break ahead of us to continue enjoying lots of great family time… which is one of the reasons I can’t believe the holidays are cruising by so fast – it is such a wonderful time to relax and enjoy each other.
We spent Christmas Eve over at Jess’ parents then returned home in time for books and leaving cookies, milk, and carrots out for Santa… then it was off to bed. In the morning, we awoke to find that Santa had visited overnight and left Will ( among other things ) the Playmobil Hospital he has wanted for the better part of 2008. We also have it on good authority that it took Santa’s elves ( or more specifically, one lucky elf ) 3 hours to assemble the hospital, having dealt with 32 pages of assembly instructions and well over a couple of hundred pieces…. which also roughly explains the picture of me about 5 hours later. Speaking of 5 hours later, did I mention that Will was up by 5:20am? We spent the rest of the day playing, getting ready for Christmas dinner, playing, eating, and playing some more.
As a side note, Santa gave both Will and myself Nerf N-Strike Dart Blasters and I have to say that I haven’t enjoyed a toy as much as these badboys in a long time! I would highly recommend them for that inner swat-team member in you!
Ho Ho Ho…. Merry Christmas!
