Christmas '10

this past Christmas was challenging, but we still had a nice time together, and i still felt the spirit of the season. ...no one should have to say goodbye to their kids early Christmas afternoon for 7 days though...


partaking of oh-so delicious orange and cinnamon rolls for breakfast :)

it's a tradition from my growing-up years that the kids have become quite fond of...


in case you couldn't tell through these photos... !






we were so blessed by others' acts of kindness...  someone left a box of presents, one for each of us, on our doorstep before Christmas.  someone else did the 12 days of Christmas with us, leaving us a little something on our doorstep.  another anonymously sent me a $100 Walmart gift card.  and finally, one of my home teachers tried to secretly provide a handful of gifts per child, even including a couple unexpected ones for me! what a special experience!!
