Our holiday was fantastic! Alex got thoroughly spoiled and John and I got to play Santa for Alex for the first time, complete with cookies, a big pile of presents for the boy and this reaction when he woke up Christmas morning:
Christmas for us has lasted three days, today being the last of the family get-together's we're attending, and the only downside has been that Alex has had to suffer three days worth of dog-related allergies of the skin rash and itchy-swollen-eyed variety. Despite his allergies, Alex has developed a major canine crush on his uncle's Springer Spainel puppy Molly.
John and I originally decided not to exchange gifts for each other, but John ended up getting himself a new game and some new accessories for his Wii and today I went out and bought a flash for my camera (LOVE!). So, I guess, technically, we ended up getting gifts for ourselves anyway. January first we go back on the "Total Money Makeover", so I guess this is the binge before the diet.
I'm looking forward to getting back to life as usual now that the holiday craziness is over. John will be home on holiday vacation for another week, so we'll get to spend some quality family time together. 2007 was a huge year for us and I'm looking forward to another great year for 2008!
