A Happy New Year Christmas
February 19th, 2007Due to scheduling around school and Christmas we ended up leaving for Chicago on Christmas Eve and returning on New Year’s Eve. It was so late a return on Christmas Eve that we literally drove into the driveway about 11:15 p.m. and rolled right into bed. I think, between reading the mail and getting stuff into the house, I was awake at midnight. It wasn’t very glamous, though.
On New Year’s morning our tree was still up and there were still presents under it. We had left a few of the biggest items at home. The girls got up and immediately wanted to open their remaining presents.
Jennifer was especially gratefully to Jackie for giving her the Polly Pocket set she wanted for Christmas. I was grateful for the scrapbook the two girls had secretly made for me!
