...it always seems kinda sad the day after Christmas

well, Christmas was wonderful this year! i loved watching my little girl's face light up with every present she opened. we did the jump around thing, which i will admit was a bit much, but was totally worth it for Kailyn's sake. i always love the excitement of Christmas day...everyone is joyful, all is well with the world, and no one can take that feeling away. but then you wake up the next morning and your like 'ugh...it's really over...?'. it's unfortunate. then you realize the year is coming to an end and you get all nostalgic about the past year and what your major turning points were....yata yata. i'm past that now. i'm on to the 'a new year, a new start' feeling. the point where you really think this next year will bring about change you couldn't even imagine and something incredible will happen to make you happy. i'm holding on to that as long as i can...it usually fades around March.

Christmas Eve.
