This year Christmas was just not right, the emptiness inside me took over and I was tempted to just stay in bed all day, but because of the boys, I decided to cry my eyes out all night and then get up, suck it up and be the best mother I could be. It was hard, but I did it.Anthony served his first Christmas mass (at 8am) and we went as a family, (except for Chris, I left him at my moms cause he's a wacko). Then we got home, the boys opened presents and then I cooked and cooked and cooked some more till mom and the in-laws showed up. The food was great, and the boys loved all their toys so that was nice. The empty space in my heart will take a long long time to fill up, but for the sake of my boys I'm going to have to stay strong and make sure that they don't miss out on things just because I'm sad.
We got some cute pics, and the night before we cooked a bunch of fish and stuff at my moms so that was nice. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and I hope that 2009 will be a lot better than the past year cause 2008 really sucked.

awesome pictures! Your boys will remember how you made Christmas special and "normal" for them they are adults, in spite of your pain.
Good job mom.
And that dinosaur scares me...lol
Anna--I agree, I hope it's a much better year. This one has been tough!! You're surviving, and you're an awesome mama. I'm so sorry you have to go through the hard times. :(
