School's Out, Cool! And Happy Yule!

The boys are officially on Christmas break as of 23 minutes ago-Yipee! We're looking forward to some good hangout time together. Feels like we've been running ever since we got here, so we're all looking forward to a little respit.

This is a picture of Andrew's School, Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School. Hopefully you can click to enlarge it because it's an old brick-front building with a gorgeous bell tower. The elementary and middle schools are just beyond the football field, and our house is in a diagonal line to the left. The water you see in the background is the Navesink River. Being geographically challenged, I thought you'd appreciate a directional description with an aerial backup!

The Littles have been busy littles elves, as the house is now filled with Holiday objets'd arte. I finally broke down and let them tape things everywhere. It actually looks really cute and festive and they are so proud. My favorite is the 'many hands' wreath - just too precious. Here's a snap of the boys attacking their Gingerbread Peeps from their Auntie Chris; notice heads and extremities still intact, not for long. The boys are really excited about Christmas, thank goodness, whether they 'believe' or not. Despite Alexander's admance that 'I know who it really is'; William is, without question, 100% certain that "Ya huh Alexander there is too!' a Santa Claus - warms my heart!

I'm looking forward to meals with my family, watching some football (yes, I said it!), playing Wii with the kids, cold jogs and brisk walks, books and board games and laughter; lots and lots of laughter!

Here's wishing you abundant joy, love and happiness this Holiday Season and may the New Year bring us all a little peace.

missing you,
xoxo P
