Christmas

Well another Christmas has come and gone already! WHAT A WEEK! Stan was put on everything opposite this past week and with the weather and everything that was crazy, he was frustrated by the end of the week! I kept telling him as we would talk on the phone while he was gone that we needed to be thankful he has a job right now and to try and think of the positive!

We had a nice Christmas, Stan's parents came down Christmas Eve afternoon and spent the night. Stan left for work as they arrived and the poor guy had to wait on his trailer for over 2 hours and didn't make it back home till around 9:00 Christmas morning. The kids were not allowed to open any gifts till he got home. By the time he got home we unwrapped gifts, had breakfast it was almost time to head for my parents house. I felt bad rushing Stan's parents out the door, but it all worked out. We spent Christmas Day with my parents, just hanging out. We played a few games, then came home and just laid around the rest of the night. Poor Stan was so exhausted after being up for over 24 hours.

We sure did miss Holger this year. After those boys (Trev and Holger) staying up almost all night last year and waking us up around 5 am to open gifts! That was one I'll never forget!

Stan opened one of his gifts Christmas Eve before he left, so he could use it. It was a bluetooth for his cell phone, but then he couldn't get it to work right that night
