Christmas Joy Begins!

Last night we started celebrating Christmas, I was one gift short and have an IOU outstanding to poor Papa. As you can tell by the look on Maggie's face, she had a blast. Both of the girls did. Of course, I think Maggie only wants boxes and tissues from Santa this year. I am sure Santa will handle it.

La Nina also had a great time last night. She understands presents now and did a good job taking turns. We were very proud of her. It is hard to wait your turn at any age, but especially at 2 and a half. She was a trooper and remembered to say Thank You. It is very fun to see her excited about the holiday.

Perhaps the best surprise is that a box of holiday greetings arrived in the mail today. Apparently, Maggie's Dad figured out I was not making any progress on holiday cards and he dealt with the issue. Hooray for Dad! I love it when someone solves a problem for me.

On a personal note, Happy Birthday Dad! I love you very much and appreciate all you do for the girls and I.
