Merry Christmas

O HARK THE HERALD ANGELS I really need to find some spare time. We have been having fun here and Christmas was quite a show. The children had a lot of fun anticipating and participating in all sorts of Christmas fun. Getting right to the core Lisa and Josie were part of the organizing of a great Christmas Eve Day at the Bowling Alley and it turned out be even more fun and festive than it sounds. A great afternoon of Christmas visiting and playing all focused under the beautifulness of bowling. I hope it is a winning tradition. Christmas eve was quiet just waiting for Santa and helping get stuff set for him kept us up late enough we almost saw him. Christmas Morning everyone showed incredible restraint and waited until about ten after seven to hustle upstairs. Madeleine being five is tuned in to what Christmas and Santa are all about so she was electrified, and am sure I could still get a shock from her a few days later. CeeCee just giggled and smiled, marching around like she knew what was up and she did, it was fun and she was not going to miss any. William was just amazed I think. Hockey stuff, ski stuff, cars trains he could not absorb it and was pretty mellow and awe filled most of the time. He understands Christmas now and will really look forward to it next time it comes up in conversation and in the year. Lots of fun and the Patry's haven't even arrived yet.
