We made it! The holidays are officailly over, the decorations are almost down, presents are put away and I have to go back to work after nearly 12 days off. I think we had a successfull Christmas. This may be first year the girls are happy with all their presents and we didn't have to return anything - except the camera Jeannelle dropped down the stairs 2 days after Christmas. Anyone who thinks God doesn't have a sense of humor should talk to my mother about my childhood and then meet my kids. Jeannelle definatlely has inheritated by "irresponsible" gene. Yes I know she can't actually "inherit" anything from me, but I have flash backs everytime she's searching the house frantlically for the gift cards she got just 3 days ago, or trying to explain why it wasn't her fault she broke another camera/nintendo/phone. Mom - I've said it before - I AM SO SORRY!
And then there's TJ. We went to Old Navy to spend some gift card money and I had to practically strap TJ to the cart to get him to sit still. He hid under the clothing racks, ran through the store, and eventually climbed up the side of shopping cart knocking it over with his brother still in the seat - strapped in of course, but little good it did as Chris' head hit the metal rack 3 times on the way down. He is rambuctious child - and even more so when we are off our routine. I guess the holidays are stressfull on everyone - even the kids. It will actually be good to go back to work and get our schedule down again. But overall, This was one of the best Christmas' we've had. Four kids in the house always makes things interesting and we had a blast with them.
