Silent Night

Agh, the sound of silence! It's just before 8:30 and I'm in my PJs reading a magazine and surfing the interweb since both kids are fast asleep. Heavenly! It almost makes up for the craziness of the past few days.... holidays are lovely but I'm giddy with anticipation of getting back into a routine.

Cori went to bed at 6:30 tonight. That is what happens when you don't nap a few days in a row and eat nothing but some noodles and sugar for 4 days straight.

Ben's fared a little better with staying in his regular routine, but even he has taken more naps and gotten cranky with all the activity of the past few days.

But overall Christmas with the kids was wonderful! At times it looks like Toy-R-Us had thrown up in our family room and living rooms, but it is incentive to get the basement set up as the toy room. And I learned that I can make some killer cinnamon rolls! It may be my new favorite thing to make; family and friends have been very receptive, but enough butter and sugar and you can probably win anyone over. Ha ha!

With close to 300 pictures and multiple videos from the past 4 days of celebrating, there is a lot from which to choose. But instead I'll just do one pic of each sweet face on Christmas morning and my wish for you:

May 2012 bring you endless wonder:
And may the new year bring you more joy than your heart can hold!
