Christmas was pretty "normal" for us. The kids woke up earlier, as usual and waited until the time we told them to wake us up. I had two unexpected panic attacks the night before, so I was pretty tired and not feeling it. Alan, like usual, was great and offered to go out and make the kids breakfast so I could get some more rest. An hour or so later, I wondered out into the living room to see the kids had gotten into their stockings and were ready for the rest. We went light on the gifts so we could tell them about our plans to "change" our Christmas traditions (see tomorrow's post) and then they spent time nicely playing and it was a pretty chill day. We headed over to Mindy and John's and exchanged gifts with them. My mom is awesome and gave me the "Love is a daily discussion" wall art that she's had for many many years. I love it, it reminds me of childhood and it's a good reminder that no love just comes with out work, it's a daily choice we make. Mindy and John gave us a BLENDTEC! Ya, probably my favorite thing...no more "chunkies." The kids got some fun stuff from everyone and the kids went off playing. We did a puzzle, hung out and headed home about bed time. Christmas (day and season) is about family and I'm glad we got to spend time with everyone.
