Other than daddy falling off a ladder and breaking open his head while attempting to hang a very special Christmas star for mommy, our Christmas break was nothing short of wonderful. Mike and I are night owls at heart and just love when the boys have Christmas break from school so that we can stay up late and watch classic Christmas movies and sleep in really, really late and eat breakfast for lunch. We make a big comfy bed on the floor at the foot of our bed and let the boys sleep in our room night after night, going to bed talking together all about Santa, how good (or not so good) they've been, the presents they'd like and the one's they've changed their minds about (not good for Mrs. Claus who shops early) and about the fun we've all had that day. This year we were so blessed to have our entire family over to our home on Christmas Eve, get to spend late Christmas day at grandma Joyce's and Papa John's and Christmas night at grandpa Steve's. Food, food and more food, gifts, gifts and more gifts,family, family and more family...we never get tired of any of the three.
Trey got a new bike for Christmas and rides his little heart out. I have had tears almost every single time he rides as I remember back to the limitations the doctors put on Trey in the beginning, when he was first diagnosed and now look...look how far he has come. Trey amazes me everyday and teaches me even more about faith and the power of having it.
We were so bummed to send the boys back to school as the holidays to us are a welcome break from "reality" in a way, as we live so deeply in the season.
