Christmas 2009

Christmas for us this year was lots of fun.

Santa Claus, of course, visited... and Bug was really excited about opening presents. She woke up with a princess soccer ball on her bed (from Santa) and has been sleeping with a soccer ball most nights since then.

We spent the morning opening presents, then went to my parents house and opened more presents and had a pancake breakfast. Then, we came home, took a nap, and headed to J's parent's house to open even more presents and have a wonderful dinner.

We LOVE how close family is... and that we can see both sides in one, relatively relaxing day.

Highlights for us (and Bug) was "princess" jewelry (which is already broken and gone to the trash)... and after receiving the princess jewelry she immediately needed to put her tu-tu on. I just got such a kick out of her opening a tool set with great thrill - wearing a tu-tu and the jewelry.

More fun... she also received a doctors kit, to which she promptly added the saw from the tool kit. She's been doing a lot of surgery using a saw. Scary.
