And what an uneventful birthday it is! But, I'm just fine with that considering how Christmas went. It's nice to have a quiet day to relax a bit and put drama & everything else behind you.So, I'm 28 today. I don't feel "old", but I do feel a bit wore out.

After dinner, we tried to get Hannah to got to bed . . . a failed somewhat. We all then watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special and played a ...

Fill in the Blank Friday
1. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is decorating, decorating, and more decorating. Secret Santa events are also a plus. 2. The thing I love most about Christmas is seeing family and watching Hannah try to chew open her presents. 3. The holiday season is "the most wonderful time of the year" (read in a Bing Crosby voice).4. My favorite thing to eat at the holidays is the holiday pop corn tin.
