Who says you can't have Christmas in February? That's exactly what we did since Charlie wasn't home for Christmas.
The girls got up on Friday ready for school. They went down stairs and saw presents under the tree and their stockings were filled with candy and toys. They were so confused.
"What's this? What's happening?", they asked.
"It's Christmastime and you aren't going to school! You are going to stay home and open presents, watch movies and play games!" we told them.
They were so excited. "You are THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD."
That was worth it all. So we opened gifts, watched movies, played games and had a great day together.
