Last night, as I was putting Cole to bed and he was giving
me a hard time (as is his norm lately), I told him that we had a very nice
Christmas vacation all together, but that he is going back to school tomorrow
and has to get a good night’s sleep. He said, “Vacation? Where did we go?”
So I had to explain that a vacation doesn't always mean
going somewhere, but that Mommy and Daddy were off from work and we were all
home spending time together and that can be a vacation, too. And then I thought
that even with Christmas and New Year’s, it was just all the simple moments
that made my 12 days home with my family so great. Here are some highlights...
