Merry Christmas!

[Guest guest]

To those who celebrate, Merry Christmas! Allie was SO EXCITED last

night she laid with her hands over her eyes to try & help them stay

closed. We were up with the girls by 5:30, they all had a slumber

party in our bedroom floor; Dinah (5) and (10) both woke up

around 5 wanting to get up. Around 5:30 we said okay, even though we

had told them not until sunrise, around here at 6:30 or so. We tried

to wake up Allie who looked so peacful, as soon as we said " Santa " she

sprung up. Turned out she wasn't sleeping, but trying so hard to stay

asleep until time, lol.

For some reason this stupid clown went through the halls of school

this past Friday -- sort of like having Santa come during Easter, lol.

She told all the kids if they wore their pajamas inside out, spun

around, wished for snow, then went to sleep, we'd have Christmas snow.

Of course then I had to explain to my backward-wearing pajama 5 yr-old

that she was just kidding. Now as I type at 3:30pm it's icing outside,

despite there being no forecast for it here in the valley. We're still

supposed to go to the in-laws down the road in a bit, I hope we'll be

able to drive, still lots more presents for the girls to come, not to

mention a lot more food! I've got a coconut cake cooking in the oven

right now. While cooking it I realized when I made our Christmas

breakfast I forgot to make eggs!!! Two dozen in the fridge, no one

said a word, I don't guess they were missed.

Well, that's about all of my meaningless info-sharing. I hope everyone

else has a wonderful day. I love Christmas Day.
