Christmas 2006

We had another perfect Christmas together as a family. Christmas Eve we spent at Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Tony’s with Katie, Granny, Uncle Jim, Aunt Karen and Graham and Kevin. Wyatt was a star, of course, happy and happy to see everyone. We had a nice dinner and soon it was time for Wyatt to go to sleep – there were suggestions to put him down somewhere (?) there, but, our plan was to bring him home to bed when he was ready and he was ready around 7:30, so off we went. We did the Santa Clause thing, I absolutely love it, it is one of life’s greatest pleasures for me. I guess I want it to be memorable for Wyatt, and I want him to have all the things I didn’t have. We had an awesome family day on Christmas lounging around with each other, eating overnight French toast and hash brown casserole and watching Uncle Buck and football. Wyatt and I took a 3 hour nap! Tom did an awesome job of gift getting this year and really spoiled me – MAN I deserved it after all the other years of disappointment!!! – and he also got some great things for Wyatt. Wyatt’s big gifts were a sled a drum full of musical instruments and lots of pajamas, he also received way too many other things from Santa and of course, from his many admirers. I really get choked up thinking about this Christmas, I just hope we can have many more holidays as the happy family we are. Life is good.
