The Stay at Home Mother

Well Christmas Eve has come and gone and it has been an amazing night for my son and daughter. My son was so excited on Christmas Eve, to open up his gifts from us and from the rest of the family. He expecially loved the garbage truck that I got for him (it was an after thought - and a good one too!) My daughter who is only eleven months old, was right in there, ripping up the gifts....but she was overwhelmed by everything. She loved the bows on the gifts so much, that she kept ripping them off everyone's gifts and running off with them.

After everyone left, we sat and watched Santa on the radar on http://www.noradsanta.org. It is fantastic. My son watched with wide eyes. He loved it. He has now gone down with dreams of Santa coming down the tiny chimney and drinking his milk and cookies, and rudolf eating his apple he left out for him.

Now it is hushed silence in my house in the wee hours of Christmas morning, and it is time for my husband and I to relax and unwind a bit, before tomorrow's mad dash for more Christmas gifts to be opened and Christms dinner to be made..... But for the next hour or so, the time is ours - and I'm loving that!
