Good Times during the Holidays


It was hard sending all the little one's back to school yesterday. I missed them all day, but I did get some much needed cleaning taken care of. The kids insisted that this year be a year that we stay home for Christmas and New Years, as last year we were in Idaho and Washington. So they dubbed it the First Christmas in our home. We were blessed with time spent with family, friends, and fun activities. The highlight for our only female offspring: sleeping with her brothers every night (this is prohibited during the school year) and in a different room. They went 9 straight nights, settling their little bodies into various sleeping locations and positions. In front of the fireplace in the living room being chosen as the prime location. Acheiving sleep for three active little friends was quite difficult though and our nights became later and noone stirred in the am until after 9. My kind of life!!! Here is a random sampling of some of our happenings.... I was intent on using the camcorder more this year and so it is a very RANDOM sampling :0. But I was successful with the videos!!!

Ahhh...I loved the picture of your kids sleeping by the fire. It looks so cozy and warm. Made me want to snuggle up in front of our fireplace. It looks like the Crosby family had a nice relaxing and fun holiday. We are glad that you were able to get in some much needed family time but we did miss seeing you in Washington. Maybe next year! Hugs! :-}
