MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wrapped until 12:45 a.m. Collapsed into sleep. Woken at 2:00 a.m. by Oldest Son. "Can we open presents now?"

"What? Are you nuts? It's TWO A.M.! We have to wait until at LEAST dawn."

Every half-hour on the half-hour, re-awoken by Oldest Son. "Now?

"No."

"How 'bout now?"

Joined by Baby Girl somewhere in the vicinity of 4:00 a.m.

"Now?"

"How 'bout now?"

"What about JUST the stocking?"

"ONE small present? Just one?"

"You won't BELIEVE what I can see coming out of my stocking."

"Now? Can we get up now?"

FINALLY, at 7:30, I said they could awaken Demon Baby to open presents (on the ONE morning he slept past 5:45 a.m.).

"Did Santa come to our home this morning?" Demon Baby asked. (This is really how he talks . . . he has an amazing vocabulary.)

Then it was two hours of non-stop opening and putting together of Demon Baby toys. Including the gift of Play-do from his godfather, who MAY be ex-godfathered, thank you very much. PLAY-DO? In the hands of the Demon? What were you thinking?

I'm exhausted.

But Merry Christmas one and all. May your lives be blessed with as much fullness as mine, as much love, as much giggles and morning cuddles and hugs and "I love yous." But maybe with a little more sleep.

Peace to all,
E

I meant to add...

And so much Play-Doh! :)

Jude:
The Play-Doh is a big hit. Which is not good news for me. Or my carpets.
