Christmas 2010:
Much like Christmas 2009, except with a borrowed Christmas tree as our sole decoration and a couple of sick kids.
I made cinnamon rolls and peppermint hot chocolate in the early morning.
Matt made our traditional sausage and gravy brunch in the late morning.
He and the boys played the board game Risk for several hours.
The girls played with their Barbie dolls for most of the day.
Luke was enthralled with his race cars and other new toys.
Nathan...well, let's just say that there's nothing that boy doesn't get into. He makes motherhood exhausting.
Me -- I was exhausted. I drank a lot of coffee.
Yes, Christmas 2010 was much like last year -- except that last year Nathan wasn't a toddler, he was a newborn. Last year was much less exhausting.
And - last year I assured the kids we'd have a better Christmas in 2010, because Matt would have a job and we'd probably be living somewhere besides Oklahoma. We might even visit Grandma and Grandpa in Florida for Christmas. Yes, surely this would be the scenario for Christmas 2010!
I was wrong.
I'm not making any predictions for Christmas 2011.
The End.
