Christmas Day 2008














Lucy was asleep in seconds last night (due to the idea that Santa could not come if she was awake). Harper on the other hand, had ideas about catching Santa in the act. She was up at 11, 11:30, 12:30, and then from 4am-7am. Then she got up at 7:20am and Lucy woke up a little before 8am. What a night.

But this morning we forgot all about being sleepy when Lucy was bouncing off the walls. We made her come into our room for a few minutes while Harper finished eating and Ian took the dog out, etc. Then it was a rush to the family room where she then got nervous and tried to deflect all the attention onto Harper. Harper was all too glad to sit down and tackle a new pile of toys. Lucy warmed up quickly and was pretty excited about her new scooter, her bean bag chair, dollhouse, marble run, grocery scanner, Thomas the train that goes when you whistle, and assorted other toys. She also loved the kids chopsticks that were in her stocking as well as the candy, cars and hair glitter. Harper was happy with her pop up toy, block tower, ball and books. She and Lucy both chowed on her treats and of course, there was the wrapping paper. She tried to eat it, play with it, play peek-a-boo with it, etc.
Another Christmas Day has come to an end. In the girls' world, that just means that we gear up for 3 (yes, 3!) more Christmas celebrations with family when we hit KY tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that the drive will be smooth. It could be 9 hours, it could be 12. 10 would be fantastic. That is just enough time for Lucy to watch all the movies in my arsenal, both girls to take naps and for me to read a magazine in between trading out toys with the back seat. Merry Christmas!
