The Day After Christmas

Hello everyone! This is my first post to our newly created blog. I was so impressed with my friend, Lori Granniss' blog, that I new I had to start one for our family. We spent a quiet and peaceful Christmas Day at home, the first in many, many years. We usually travel to go visit family during the holidays but we felt that this year we wanted to stay home especially now that we can celebrate with our two sons, Roman and Ethan. Of course, we miss seeing family but this year we knew things were different. I made a wonderful breakfast casserole that my mother-in-law Patti shared with us a few days ago. I'll have to post recipe because it is definitely a keeper in my recipe book. After we ate breakfast, we enjoyed watching Roman open all his gifts. Ethan is just 5 mos old so, I pretty much helped the little guy open his gifts. Later in the afternoon, we went over to some friends, The Smith Family, and let the kids play while we ate more food...yikes.

Today was chilly so the boys and I stayed in doors while Steve went to the office for a couple of hours. I actually took out my new 4 ft trampoline that my wonderful sister gave me and started rebounding. Wow, I am so out of shape. Within 10 minutes I was pooped. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be able to "bounce" a little longer.

Anyways, we do hope you enjoy visiting and please feel free to leave us any comments. We'd love to hear from you!
