Happy New Year, everyone!
We arrived home yesterday after a very early morning flight, a very short layover, and a 2-hour drive. The children did remarkably well, but then, they tend to travel well as we've done so much of it. CU Land has approximately 6 inches of snow on the ground. Wild Man was so excited to see snow that he asked if we could wait to open our Santa presents so he could go play. As Bear was equally happy to be in his own space, Archer and I agreed. After playing in the snow for about 45 minutes, Wild Man came inside to get warm and dry. Then he asked if we could open presents. He was a bit disappointed we couldn't make homemade pizza for dinner, which is one of our holiday traditions, but we promised him we'd make it one night this week. He said, "No store bought pizza, Mommy. We have to make it from scratch!" All in all, we had a relaxing late-afternoon and evening.
As I steal away a few moments to type this, Bear and Wild Man are "organizing" their new toys. Our playroom is far from organized, but they are happy. George is happy to have his things too. He has spent some quality time in his exer-saucer this morning, and he enjoyed sitting in his high chair last night. After more than a week sleeping between Archer and me, it will take some work to get him back in his crib, but I'm not stressing out about anything today. I'm as happy as my children to be home.

Happy New Year! I love that Wild Man wanted to play in the snow and his "No store bought pizza" comment! We had just over a foot of snow, and I watched the neighborhood kids take advantage of their breaks to play in the snow. People are so happy since we didn't get it last year.
Lilian, I am happy your home safely too, but I removed your comment as it included some information that could take away my anonymity. Happy New Year!
