Happy New Year!

I don't think I have ever rang in a New Year quite like 2011! Our flight back to New York was supposed to be on the ground by 11:30pm, but that isn't how it happened. The Captain came on the speaker saying it was just a few seconds after midnight by his watch and if we looked out our windows we might be able to see the fireworks over NYC, well I didn't see any fireworks just Donnie looking back at me from his seat in front of mine to say Happy New Year & blow me a kiss!

By the time we made it home it was 2 am, and all we wanted to do was crawl into our own beds. But that didn't happen either, because Santa had come to our house while we were on vacation! There was no waiting until the morning to see what Santa had left for the kids. So they tore into their stockings and opened their presents with just as much excitement as if it was Christmas morning! And we finally did crawl into bed about 2:30am ending The Best Christmas Vacation Ever! I am looking forward to a new year that will hopefully be filled with more joy & happiness than sickness and sorrow...We are truly blessed!
