Christmas tree

Well, I sit here looking at my forlorn Christmas tree, stripped of its beauty- all except for its twinkling lights. It still has lots of presents under it though. We havent done Christmas yet with my mom and the boys. We went to Arkansas for Christmas to be with the Sterzik clan. We left the boys there for 3 days and we go back to pick them up Saturday. When we return we will do a very belated Christmas at home. It doesnt really seem like Christmas now until we do it here at home. But in the interest of saving my sanity, I packed up all the decorations before the boys returned. Chris and I both have colds right now and are struggling to breathe through congested systems. We have gone out to eat and went to the movies to see 'I am legend' with Will Smith. Scary but excellent movie.
My house seems so quiet. Every morning I think I hear one of the boys as I walk into the kitchen. I miss their cheerful talk and even miss their bickering. No, I dont miss the bickering. I miss their sweet faces though. Cant wait to see them. So kind of my in-laws to watch them for a few days for us. I wonder if I could pay them a million dollars to drive them home so we wont have to spend 6 hours in the car on Sunday?
