How blessed am I

My son has been home since Saturday. Drove all night Friday, stopped to snooze for a couple hours, and the doorbell rang at 5:30 am. I was obviously sleeping lightly waiting for my boy.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

 I opened the door, smiled, backed up so Derek and his bags could come in, then moved in for a hug. All I want for Christmas is... HERE!

Jamie and Mr. Max were here too, waiting for Uncle Derek, so we went up and woke them - we let them "sleep in" til 5:45. As you can see, four months away did NOT mean Uncle Derek was forgotten :)

 Had a wonderful long weekend with my wonderful family, and now Jamie and Max have gone home to prepare for Daddy, who gets home from work on the 23rd.

What an amazing Christmas gift to get! :) I'm so excited that you are all together and look how happy Mr. Max is to see his Uncle! Glad Derek arrived save! Enjoy your holiday season together.
