Christmas
We had a great Christmas and New Years Eve. We celebrated with family and friends at home this year. Jake still believes in Santa Clause but Max who will be ten in a few weeks has started to get suspicious. I gather from conversations that this is a topic of much debate among his friends and that he has been defending Santa's existence but is beginning to lose faith. His older cousin Ryan knows the secret and has planted further seeds of doubt in his head. I think we may only have one more year before he knows the truth. Jake fortunately is a stubborn mule and will not let anyone shake his belief in Santa!
Santa brought snow skates and snowboards and hockey sticks. We have had no snow to speak of but the boys have been roller blading around the driveway playing hockey on warmer days. They argue and fight many times a day but when they are apart they claim they miss each other. Of course neither one would admit it to the other. Christmas did bring one casualty as one of the kings in the nativity set lost his head to a flying shoe. We now have a new rule which prohibits removing shoes by kicking them off.
It's back to school on Monday and on to our regular routine which I think will be a bit strange after nearly two weeks. It was a wonderful holiday and good to see everyone who was able to drop by for a visit.
