A grown up Christmas

This year was the second year in a row that I didn't see my family for Christmas. I worked all day on Christmas Eve and then spent the next two days at my in-laws, eating, drinking, and playing with our neice and nephews. I really felt like an adult. I wasn't eating the Hakanson Christmas traditional food, there were no exciting presents to open, and I didn't go to any form of Church. There really wasn't any excitement at all except to watch the kids who were so excited to open presents. It certainly wasn't a bad Christmas by any means, but I just can't beleive how much life has changed in the last couple of years.

We the People...

Nothing makes me happier than hearing my kids sing the School House Rock version of the Preamble in the hallways, basically studying for the Constitution test without even realizing that they are doing it. =)
