Whew...

The scent of morning coffee is still hanging lightly in the air.

Matt is at work.

My parents and brother just left.

The house is quiet, except for the occasional quacking of Linus-dog's new toy duck.

I'm so exhausted, but so completely happy.

Christmas was just wonderful. Absolutely beautiful, and I did it. I did it all. I'm so proud, and so happy that I provided my loved ones with such a great holiday. And now I'm going to sleep for about 32 hours straight. No, of course not really, but I am wiped out, even my arms are sore, somehow? Anyway, I'll post some pictures later tonight when I've got some more down time (Matt's working until 9 PM and I'm already feeling a little lonely, post-holiday letdown and all...). Technically I *am* supposed to be working now, but it's mercifully slow, and the breakfast dishes and a hot shower are calling my name. I hope everyone had as glorious a holiday as we did here! We love you all!
