Christmas Day...In the Hotel

Christmas in a one and a half bedroom hotel room was a bit tricky, especially since Santa Claus would be making a visit. So, Don and I had all the kids sleep in the beds in the bedroom and we slept in the front room in the really comfortable couch bed, just in case Santa made too much noise. Thankfully, he didn't even wake us up!

It was amazing to realize that it doesn't really matter where you are, just as long as you are together with the ones you love, it's perfect.


Grandma and Grandpa gave us the Wii for Christmas and boy was that the perfect gift to receive being stuck in a hotel room for 2 weeks! We loved it!


We spent the entire day playing together as a family with all of our new toys and even got to spend some time swimming in our private pool and hot tub, since the hotel was empty! We also went down for Christmas dinner in the lobby. A cook, and a maid. I could get used to this.....

Santa was definitely inspired to bring that Wii for Christmas! Perfect. The boxing would be great for getting out some frustration.

Your strength and positive attitude during that time is truly inspiring. I know there were tears mixed in there, but I love how you want to focus on and remember the happy times.
