Christmas vacation came and went way too fast! We actually had a full two weeks off but with everyone sick for half of the time it didn't seem like it was that long. This morning, I dragged my sleepy butt out of bed and got everyone off to school. I'll admit, during the holiday I was lazy and slept in almost every day. Jay was so awesome! He got up early and made breakfast for everyone. In fact, he surprised us with breakfast in bed! It was wonderful and I miss him already. I love having my family around me all day and it feels so quiet now with just the two little boys and my niece here. Oh, and Cecy just pulled herself out of bed so I guess I'd better count her too.
My camera broke just before Christmas so I don't even have any fun pictures to share. We really didn't do anything exciting over the holiday because everyone was so down and out, but the kids mastered Jayson's Rock Band. Even Jake and Maleia got into it! Let me tell you, that little Maleia is quite the singer and Jake can pound a mean drum. It was fun to watch them get so involved and they begged every day to play. Definitely something we're going to have to invest in!
I've been thinking a lot about the past year and all the ups and downs our family went through. There were some pretty tough times that tried my patience and left me feeling so overwhelmed. Looking back, I'm not quite sure how I survived, but survive I did. We also had some pretty incredible blessings come our way as well. Janzyn was the biggest one of all! He's so amazingly perfect for our family and although I didn't realize he was missing from our brood, now I can't imagine life without him. I'm really hoping that 2009 isn't quite so much of a roller coaster but if it is, we'll get through it I'm sure. I definitely feel like one blessed mama, though.
