Christmas Hurricane

I have a problem. A first world problem.

Our friends and family are so darn generous, gave the boys and me and Frankie such amazing things that Christmas presents are strewn around our house - the Christmas Hurricane if you will - as Eddie goes from fun new toy to fun new toy to loud new toy (Santa brought a drum set! Santa must have been high when that decision was made). And me? Well, instead of nicely organizing the new toys, going through and weaning out ones that are used or missing parts in order to make room for the new, I'm joining Eddie is the the new toy rotation, laughing as he bangs the drums, clapping at the appropriate moments, taking my turn when requested. All this to say that my house is an utter disaster, dishes are piling up and there's still spilled sugar on the counter from when I missed my coffee cup this morning.

Instead of facing the hurricane head on, I've hunkered down, boarded up my windows and hoped that no neighbors stop by. And while I've uploaded my Christmas pictures onto the computer, I'm completely overwhelmed at the amount of them, memories that are so wonderful and funny and cute they will make your heart happy. Unfortunately, the hurricane is dying down and I desperately need to get to the point of rebuilding (our sanity, that is), so once efforts home-side have been completed, I promise I'll post all the pictures and funny stories from our holiday.

Until then....
