Christmas 08

With sick kids and sick parents, we toiled through Christmas this year. Luckily, the runny noses and fevers weren't enough to ruin the kids spirits. Serenity really got a kick out of opening presents this year. We tried to keep it low key since Hayden and Seri have more than enough toys as it is. Hayden still ended up with about 10 toys in his closet that we will dole out throughout the rest of the year. Serenity got really excited about every present... which was really cute.


Out of everything Hayden got, he played with his harmonica the most that morning... which was pretty annoying. Once I got his space toys out and assembled the harmonica found a new home in a far off kitchen cupboard.


The next day the kids were actually feeling pretty good so we went and fed the ducks and rode the train.


Seri hated the train. It might have been that she was a little hungry but... she was not feeling the ride at all.


So now we have a little time to clean and re-coop before Mom and Dad come down. I can't wait to get out of here and take our cruise. Of course, we'll be broke when we get back and I'll start my latest run of courses a week late... which will suck, but it'll be worth it!
