FINALLY! I can post in here about what my Christmas plans were. You see, my oldest nephew recently got facebook. Because we were keeping a pretty big secret from him (and his younger brother) I couldn't really post much on this blog. What is that big secret you say? In a little while, my family (including Jim) will be heading to Disneyworld for vacation. We told them today and they were really excited!
Since Jim and I will be seeing each other very shortly, and because my job makes it hard to get away for Christmas, we decided we would not be together at Christmas this year. He went home to his family in Chicago and I stayed here. After a few emotional days (on my part) we made the best of the situation.
His family has all these Christmas traditions with their gift opening. I really was upset I wouldn't be a part of those traditions. Luckily, this year my family did not celebrate Christmas until today (the 26th) so I managed to skype in to their Christmas. It was great to sort of feel like I was there. This morning when the boys found out that we were going to Disney, Jim skyped in as well. So we were really lucky that modern technology allowed us to feel in a small way a part of our families Christmas traditions. I am looking so forward to spending a week in Disney, and even more happy to be able to spend it with all my fave people in the world.
Now if we could just get Jim to go on the teacups..... ;)
