I HAVE BEEN TELLING JEFF FOR A WHILE NOW THAT I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO A DAY WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT WE HAD TO DO, A DAY TO JUST CHILL AND TODAY WAS FINALLY THAT DAY. WE FINISHED OUR ERRANDS YESTERDAY, TURNED OFF THE ALARM CLOCK LAST NIGHT AND SLEPT IN TILL 9 AM. I KINDA HAD A HARD TIME I TOSSED AND TURNED A LITTLE BUT IN THE END IT FELT GOOD TO SLEEP IN. THIS YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS THE KIDS ARE ALL AWAY FROM HOME AND AND JEFF AND I ARE COMPLETELY ALONE. THIS IS A FIRST SINCE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD FAMILY AROUND. IT HAS BEEN A RELATIVELY QUIET DAY, I WRAPPED PRESENTS, GAVE LEXIE AND BATH AND WE WENT TO VISIT A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THEN WENT TO DINNER. HOWEVER, BY 6:30 TONIGHT JEFF LOOKED AT THE CLOCK AND LAUGHED BECAUSE IT FELT SO LATE, AND HERE WE WERE WATCHING TV LIKE IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY AND IT'S NOT. IT'S A CHRISTMAS EVE UNLIKE ANY WE HAVE EVER HAD, ONE WITH NOTHING TO DO. IT WAS THE RELAXING DAY THAT I WAS HOPING FOR WITH NOTHING TO DO, BUT IN REALITY HAVING NOTHING TO DO IS NOT ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE, OUR CHRISTMAS EVE WAS TOO QUIET. MY FAMILY IS NOT HERE, I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH. IT'S A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIFE.
SUCH A CUTIE. ALL CLEAN AND DRESSED UP FOR CHRISTMAS.
