Merry Christmas!

On Christmas morning, the kids were under strict orders not to get out of their beds until it was light out. They followed the rules about getting out of bed, but Kent and I could hear them checking the blinds starting around 5:30. It didn't help that both girls are sick and took turns having coughing fits between 5:30 and 7ish, as well. A little after 7, we started our morning . . .

What could this be . . .

It's a kitchen! I spent a decent amount of time worrying that Maddie would be disappointed and envious of Sophie's big present, but everything turned out fine.


Madeline had more than enough to open between Santa's presents, Grandparent's presents, and presents from cousins! Our kids are very fortunate.




Madeline's big request from Santa this year was rollerblades. She and Kent went skating, she fell, Kent ran her finger over, and then we put them away for another day. :)

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'll leave you with this short conversation I had with Sophie this morning, the day after Christmas:

Sophie: Is it still Christmas?
Me: No, it's not Christmas anymore.
Sophie: Well . . . is the Easter Bunny coming today?

What a wonderful morning! I love Sophie's questions about the Easter bunny; I have been telling it to everyone!
