Happy Holidays! Normally, I don't really care for that saying, I would much prefer to just say "Merry Christmas," but since there are TWO holidays being celebrated in this one post, I guess it's actually appropriate, right? Anyway...
Hunter and I had a very nice Christmas. We spent Christmas eve with my dad's side of the family. We had dinner here at my parent's house and then opened gifts and stuff like that. We are celebrating with my mom's family on Jan 3 so that will be very fun as well, I'm sure!
Christmas morning Hunter was quite excited and ate as many chocolate things as he could find. There were plenty in all of the stockings and I eventually had to hide them from he before he got sick. He is quite the choco-holic, I have NO IDEA where he got that from :)
I actually haven't given Hunter his two bigger presents from Ben and I yet, but that is somewhat intentional. He has been quite happy with all the wonderful toys and stuff that he already got so I figured I could wait just a bit until he needed something new to occupy him, which I'm sure I will need soon with Clara's wedding just around the corner! Either way, he had a great time opening gifts and he did pretty well with all the excitement.
Hopefully everyone else had a good holiday. Ben sent me an amazing painting that was done by a local artist in Kabul who is only 15! It's absolutely beautiful and I'm very anxious to get it framed so I can hang it up. He spoils me even when he's not home :)
I can't believe that it is going to be 2009 in just a couple hours...time sure flies and I'm so excited about that! In just a few months Hunter and I will be heading back to Ft. Campbell and in no time at all Ben will be back home with us, HOORAY!!! :) Just about four and a half months, not that I am counting or anything.
Well, I guess that's about all for now. Just wanted to get back on here and wish everyone a blessed new year.
Love, em
