The excitement of Christmas

     It is officially Christmas, and I am sure shortly I will have 2 excited little kids jumping on my bed asking to open up presents. How things have changed !! It seems like just yesterday that I was a little girl who couldn't sleep waiting for 6 am ( The time my parents told us was the earliest we could wake them) I remember laying in bed being so excited at times literally counting down the minutes. Now I am up all night not because I am to excited to sleep but because there are gifts to be wrapped, and last minute details to be worked out for the big morning. Christmas is still exciting for me, but for different reasons. I can't wait to see my kiddo's faces when they open their presents, and watch them enjoy playing with them. This year is a bit different since my hubby wont be home to celebrate with us. But we have decided to have another "Christmas" this next Tuesday. So I am looking forward to getting to enjoy watching the kids twice in one year. Boy how things change as we get older.
