The Aftermath

Twas the night after Christmas and all through our house,
Not a sound can be heard but the clicking of Mom's mouse.
The stockings are packed away--awaiting next year,
but yesterday's contents are still strewn about--never fear!
After a week-long "sugar high," parties and presents galore,
I am sure excitement withdrawals are certainly in store.
The kiddos are nestled snugly in their beds, while the tunes from that darn toy keyboard are still stuck in my head!

Contently, I sit examining our photos with a smile plastered ear to ear,

Then I think, "Let's do it all again! Do we really have to wait a whole year?"

I found my way here via another local mom's blog. My twin boys are in the other two year old class at the preschool your kids also attend. I love seeing your little ones trotting in and out of school in the carline! They are so precious.

I have been so blessed by you, and I haven't even met you. Thanks so much for sharing your family and your faith here!

Enjoy the rest of the holidays with your sweet family!
