come and gone

Christmas has come and gone. It was a restful and relaxing holiday, which is good. Why is it the time we spend off from work goes so quickly, while the time I spend at work doesn't? The girls spent Christmas Eve with their Dad and came to our house Christmas day. They are staying until Saturday. Our relaxing timet ogether has been interrupted by a basketball tournament and practice. I won't complain though.

TBW was so excited about her present. We are going to Denver to see her daughter from the 10th to the 14th. We get to see her cheer, meet "Mr. Perfect" and go skiing. Sounds like a fun trip. TBW gave me a ton of clothes and a beautiful David Yurman cross. We are definately blessed. Christmas eve, we had dinner with TBW's son and a friend. We enjoyed talking and opening presents in front of the fire. We went to midnight mass and slept in. I don't miss getting up at the crack of dawn to see what santa brought. I liked it then, but enjoy the slow paced routine we now embrace.

TBW and I watched a few movies until the girls arrived. Overall it was a relaxing time. It is weird not seeing relatives, but it was a nice time.

We have been somewhat spoiled I guess you can say. We have one teen living with us full time. The other two are with their Dad and with us on the weekends. I forgot how D3 can grate on everyone's nerves and how they bicker back and forth non-stop. It appears the older two have added various four-lettered words into their vocabulary. Didn't think I'd walk in on that one yet - but did. All I have to say to it all is $#%#$%# %^%^$^&!! he he....
