Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and hope that all of you did as well. That is Christmas day was wonderful because everyone was finally feeling better. The week before it all started with Alison, then Mark and finally John. Me, well so far so good. Besides, someone has to stay healthy enough to clean up after the sick ones!
We all got new pajamas and slippers on Christmas Eve and opened our presents from the Grandparents. Of course this was after reading the nativity from the Bible and stopping to sing the appropriate songs. I did not think that John would make it to the present part, but he did. That day he woke up telling me that it was time to open presents. Boy was he bummed when he discovered that he had to wait until after dinner and the story of Christ's birth! That boy did not eat a thing all day!
Christmas morning started at 7am and the gifts were done by 8am. Then it took about 2 hours to open the boxes and remove the toys from their tangled web of wires, plastic and rubber bands! John's theme this year: Transformers, of course! Alison's theme: baby doll and cute girl stuff. They each received some really neat gifts and the rest of the day was spent playing with all of them.
New pajamas!

Looks like you all had a really great christmas. I bet Alison has fun with her baby changing center. We use to have one but I sold it a couple months ago at a garage sale. Every once in a while Sophia tells me she didn't really want to sell it. Oh well.
