Day 2313. The kids were up early, as usual, Randy got up later to make breakfast for them, and at one point they went downstairs to play. I enjoyed not having an alarm set but sleeping in as long as I wanted to. I got up at 11 am, and after a while I went to the kitchen to warm up leftovers from yesterday for lunch.

Day 2312. Christmas! The day the kids had been waiting for had finally come! They got up early and opened the last door on all the advent calendars in the morning. At some point Randy got up to make breakfast for them, and at some point they went downstairs to play. Looking outside the window, you could see that it had snowed.

Day 2311. I'd had a bad night of tooth pain and two kids next to me after going to bed late. I lay back down after everyone had left for school but the pain kept me up. At 11 am I got up as I had a 11:30 am student but he didn't show up. I could have stayed in bed!
