And just like that it's over...

It always is surprising to me how fast Christmas goes by- all the preparation, decorating, shopping and then its done.


I must say that over the years my family has come up with some really good traditions. Japanese, church and cookie decorating on Christmas Eve is something to look forward to. Johnny had a lot of fun making cookies for Santa, trying to get them just right with a can of sprinkles on each cookie. lol When we got back to our house he made reindeer food, spread it out said good buy to Zippy and left out his cookies for the big guy. To add to all the excitement Jenny spent the night with us too. Of course the one morning Johnny sleeps until 6:30 I am wide awake. He woke up and we got to hook up with John on skype. I am so glad we could be together in some form. The heart wrenching moment of the morning was when Johnny opened a present from John and ran to the computer and gave it a hug. I know he is so ready to hug his dada for real. After we finished up our morning (with the highlights being a trip to Disney and a leapster explorer) we headed over to my parents. Like every Christmas all of us got way too much. It is a bit ridiculous! And if yall think I take a lot of pictures now then just wait. John got me the newest SLR Nikon, D3100. It is awesome and I cant wait to really learn how to use it! After messing with all the loot and opening up everything Johnny got to play with it once we headed to the Wolf house for a feast. Most people would be excited by the sight of snow on Christmas, I am not one of those people. Maybe if we were sitting by the fire at home with no plans to go anywhere but this little snow storm cut into my dessert and visit time with the Wolfs! I was glad to get home safely and happy to have spent such a great day with my family they always go out of their way to make things special. The decorations are down, and the coundown is on for daddy and Disney!
