Heavy Sigh

Well I totally exhausted myself trying to pull off the perfect family holiday. Everything was fun and went according to plan but I was on my feet from 8am to 11pm. Except for the ten minutes around 9:45pm when I went in my room and laid face down in a pillow. I just needed a small break. Here is a picture of the family after we opened our crackers and played with the silly toys inside. Everyone was such a good sport about wearing their crowns. The next day we cleaned up after our 18 inches of snow. We took Dirk back to Lowell, did some bargain shopping and I went out with my parents, g-parents & brother Scott for my mom's birthday. Then Friday I was back to work. So today Tom & I completely veggged out. We built a fire and watched TV and intermittently snoozed all day. I also played my new Tropico game and he worked on his Lego robots which finally came from eBay this morning. Perfect laziness.
