Despite it all, we did manage to have a Happy Holiday. It's hard not to with a 2-year-old in tow. He was thrilled that Santa left all those goodies for him. He had fun running around our families houses getting into trouble. He ate more Christmas cookies than any good pediatrician would recommend. It really did turn out to be a fun week, filled with food, fun and family.
We were able to have a truly awesome present and have my Grandma Schwartz there for our holiday party this year--she's undergoing chemo and radiation for cancer that has spread all over her body, and we didn't think she was going to be able to make the trip down from Three Lakes, but she was there, and in great spirits. It was so wonderful to be able to spend Christmas with her.
It was weird--with everyone's budgets on lockdown these days, we'd pretty much decided not to exchange grownup gifts with almost everyone, so I actually only opened one present myself, but with Will it felt like a non-stop parade of gifts! Christmas really is for kids--and it was great!!! (p.s. the gift I did receive was an AWESOME sewing machine from my mother-in-law and I am SO EXCITED!! Look for updates when I learn how to use this bad-boy and make my millions on Etsy.com!)
We hope that everyone had a wonderful and merry Christmas and is looking forward to 2010 with the hope that we are.
