The Best Christmas Ever....

Sing it like Sponge Bob.  I got the BEST Christmas presents EVER this year.  And I know you're thinking you want to see pictures of the kids, but I just have to tell how loved I felt this year.  I love presents and these are AWESOME!  It incorporated all my favorite things.  And by the way, it's only 35 days until my birthday!  So, I will stop being selfish and post pictures of the kids later today.  Although, I'll tell ya, I took those pictures with my REAL camera and not with my phone and I am so dang lazy about uploading them from the SD card to dropbox.  LaZy!  I know getting a Halloween decoration for Christmas seems a little odd, but I love decorating for Halloween almost as much as I love presents.  It's not done much here in Germany, so I can only imagine what the neighbors think of us.  The kids really loved Scooby Doo when they were little and if no one is looking they will still watch it.  So, I will always love Scooby Doo.  And I LOVE chocolate!  No surprise there!  That box is already half empty.  I let the kids have whatever they wanted yesterday.  Today the box is hidden.  I'm so mean!

So, I heard Texas got snow this year.  It was, actually, pretty warm here.  In the 50s.  It's that--the sun's never going to shine again, rainy, dreary, grey kinda weather. The sun is shining inside.  We are all getting to spend time together.  Which is precious.  John will be leaving for the summer and when he comes back in the fall, it will be his senior year.  Sniffle, sniffle!  I miss him already and he's not even gone yet.
