Just throwing this out there....
Why is it that you spend over a month building up for one day? The shopping and decorating and running around for one day in time that is over in a blink of an eye.
We went home to Charleston SC for Christmas and we had been planning this trip since Easter of 2007. The day after Thanksgiving my mother would call me every morning to give me the count down until the day we would be home. Even if she had nothing else to say she would at least give the count down. Then the shopping online to make sure every gift was at my parents house for Christmas. Dec 21st and we are finally there, now is where the blur begins. There is so much you want to see and do that you can't seem to fit it all in. Did I mention this was Jade's first visit to Charleston. Of course everyone had to see both of the kids, all of the family friends.
Christmas eve is here and Kevin, Dad, and I are scrambling around to make sure that Santa makes it to our house. We go to bed around midnight which just seemed like I closed my eyes and Jade and JC were waking all of us up. Again in a flash it is over.... the kids rip into the gifts wanting to play with everything all at once. Done. Mom and I begin to cook Christmas dinner for everyone that is coming. My cousin Angie has to leave Christmas afternoon b/c she has to be at work the next day. Wish I had more time with her too. Everyone arrives for dinner. Done.
Why is it that the great things happen in a flash and you fight to remember the look on your child's face? You wait 9 months for this wonderful life to grow inside of you then the child is born. You don't remember the pain, the room, the sounds you made. You just now look 13 or 3 years later in their eyes and wonder what they will do next. Christmas of 2007 is over.... how was your's?
