Did you know that
post-holiday blues is an actual medical "disorder"? I looked it up (I have a love-hate relationship with google). PTD actually stands for post-travel depression but it applies to all forms of blues that occur at the end of a holiday type activity. I'm sure you were wondering, and you're welcome.
I usually can make it past New Years before I really start feeling this, but this year it pretty much hit right after the first snow which was probably back in October. So I was desperately in need of some Christmas cheer, and I'm pleased to say I got some. We had a fantastic Christmas, just perfect (that is until I started doing my online after Christmas shopping on Sunday evening and thought I might die from stress).
But the weekend was wonderful. And family who wasn't here with us, we missed you and hope you had as nice a Christmas as we did.

| Sugar cookies for Santa--I'm absolutely sure ours were his favorite. |
 |
| Fuuuudge. I did make English toffee too but of course its gone. |
 |
| I finished Calder and Everest's stockings on Christmas Eve, just in time |
 |
| Jade and I played in the snow for a good hour, and I made my first snow angel since I was about 10. I forgot how much fun it is. I just laid there in the snow for a while after until Jade asked me what I was doing. |

| Calder eating mashed potatoes. I didn't get the picture of Everest hijacking the spoon and licking it completely clean. |
 |
| Christmas morn! |
 |
| Matching jammies that Aaron thinks are for girls only. I swear when I bought them online you could NOT see that the monkeys were wearing PINK scarves. |
 | |
| And yesterday we opened what I said would be our very last can of formula. At last, after appx. $3000 worth over the course of the last year. |

So there you have it, a wonderful end to a pretty CRAZY year that passed by in a blur. Anybody want to babysit? Go
here for some ideas of how to beat PTD :)

Loved, loved, loved this blog! In every single jingle jangle way! You are the most awesome mommy ever! And please tell Aaron that boys are sometimes allowed to wear pink. God gave a touch of it to them in their cheeks afterall, so why not? Love you guys!
those stockings are great. Are they easy to make? I'm thinking about getting a sewing machine with my gift card....too bad i don't know how to sew :) Those boys look huge!! i'm so excited to see them!!!!!!! i love your family :) also, i like how you don't have anything on your tree where the boys can reach....that's how our is too :)
look how perfectly decorated your house is for christmas! I love the stockings! and seriously, can you give me your fudge recipe because i tried TWICE this year, and both times it came out waaaay too soft, and yours looks perfect. Looks like you had a wonderful christmas!!
I wish I could send you guys my sewing machine, bread maker, food processor! But they are so heavy it would cost more to ship than to buy new ones. A moving van is the answer I think...
