Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a great Christmas.
At our house, we are too caught up in the present aspect of Christmas. Clare is like a Christmas crack addict. She just sits by the tree twitching to open up presents. There is hardly anything under the tree but she can't stand it! I have been such a crab the past couple days. I am trying to take into account their excitement but they are more than I can handle lately! Between the fighting, hitting, biting and constant sassy talk I've been a terrible mother with my lack of patience! I vow to be better next year!!!! I swear :)
My present under the tree to my family will be a better mom!
As I said, the kids are so excited. They have watched the Polar Express about 1000 times and we made cookies last night for Santa! So, that combined with the reindeer dust Clare made at school, we should be all set! I am a bit afraid that nobody will sleep tonight but hopefully with a family dinner and Mass, they will be out like a light.
Well, enjoy your family and friends this Christmas. I am imagining Christmas through my childrens eyes and it's a pretty exciting time.
