Wait? It's over?

Well, Christmas was a success...if you take away the fact that Haley was deathly sick with the flu, I did not sleep the entire Christmas Eve night due to crying baby and snoring husband, or the fact that we had to make trips back and forth because the dog we are sitting for has to be in kennel when we are gone! It was actually a really low key Christmas though there were many kinks. My sister and I had made a 4 present rule for each child...thinking they could get 4 things that they really really wanted rather than a ton of so-so stuff! This idea was not followed through...due to one person...can you imagine who that may be? Oh yes, their Nina! Nina knew our rule she admitted but had forgotten that she had already purchased ALL these toys before the "rule" was made. I guess rules are meant to be broken in some cases but seriously...next year mom...we are doing it my way!!! ;)

I still cant get over that Christmas has passed. There is always so much anticipation for the special day that when it's over it's almost like you wake up to "wah wah waaah"? I am glad it's over but a little sad too? Im so happy to say goodbye to our elf Easton and honestly...not too upset about no more Christmas tunes...love them at first then it just get's over done.

I got this Kinnect for our xbox and it really freaks me out! It is way too smart of a device...it knows your voice so it changes your avatar automatically when you step up...it takes pictures of you and saves them (who knows where). If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might just think the government was behind this with some Patriot Act agreement with the xbox creators! I even felt the need to go put on make up before playing...seriously invasive stuff right there...who puts on make up for a video game? Im weird. Anyway, the games are crazy cool though and I am oh so excited to get all the workout/dance games...oh yes...I did buy it for me secretly just for those games!

Anyway, hope your holidays were happy. I know I am thankful for the birth of my Savior and hopefully I can take this week to reflect on that because secular Christmas mojo really takes the true meaning out of Christmas for me...regardless of how hard I try to keep to truth I end up sweating over the small stuff and not spending much time on the fact that my Lord was born to save me but more time on what to buy people who already have too much?

Better luck next year:)
