I can't believe today is Christmas Eve. It seems so weird to be away from home. We spent most of the day hanging out with Todd's family at his mom's house. It was fun just listening to their old stories and looking at their pictures. I scanned lots of pictures of our wedding that I didn't have and pictures of Todd when he was young. When we got back to the room it was midnight so we decided to do Christmas tonight and sleep in tomorrow. Tom was excited to use his new projector. Tom and Todd are watching "The Simpsons Movie" on the ceiling right now. It is pretty cool! For some reason I feel like such a lousy mother because I am not with my kids for Christmas and we're in a hotel room without a Christmas Tree or anything. It's just kind of strange. I personally think it is one of the better Christmas's I have had in a long time. Not a bunch of money spent on presents and such. . . instead it has been about spending time with the people that we love and haven't seen for a long time. Maybe we should start traveling every Christmas!! Anyway, enough for today. Merry Christmas!
