Our Christmas vacation is halfway over. I'm not typically the "glass 1/2 empty" type.....but, it makes me sad to think it will all be over soon. As a kid, time feels as if it stands still while anticipating Christmas morning. As an adult....time is super sonic....and there is no more procrastinating.....I must wrap presents TODAY!We've had a fun week. Nothing spectacular and in no particular order....this was our week at a glance: sleeping in, playing in the snow for hours, spending time with friends, making gingerbread houses, playing games, hot chocolate with all the "toppings", special late night walks with daddy and Wally, movies, eating out, all while time stood still.....anticipating Christmas.
"Nothing works without Anna." That's my new favorite quote from John. He announced it after coming in from playing in the snow without his sister. Let me set the stage. The day before, the two of them had spent hours building a snow fort, a huge snowman - complete with a secret hiding spot for their snowballs, and planning the perfect snowball fight. Even though the weather was freezing, my heart melted as I watched them play through the window. The next day, Anna enjoyed caroling with friends, while John bundled up and headed back out to play with his brothers and neighborhood buddies. After a bit, John came back in and pronounced that now famous phrase. When I asked him why.....he said, the snow is too powdery and it won't stick together, David knocked over our fort, and the snowball fight was not fun. Therefore, "nothing works without Anna". Awwww....music to my ears....every parents dream......the perfect Christmas present.......siblings getting along!
