Merry Christmas!

It was a great day...I knew I had gone overboard on gifts for Emma, but it was her first real Christmas where she knew what was going on. She had asked for a Scooter and a bike from Santa. She woke up and said "Today is Christmas? Do we get to open all of our presents? Because Santa brought a present for you, dad, and for me...for everyone, lets go!" She was so excited to see that Santa had brought her a scooter, but she didn't see the bike so she said, he brought me a scooter, but not a bike. She looked so sad...but the bike was covered..so whe was happy when she saw it. She was really just trying to take it all in. There was so much...the presents, a note from Santa, the stockings, the milk and cookies were gone...but she did really good. She opened all her presents; stopping periodically to say " where are your presents, you and daddy need to open some", in less than two hours, got ready for church in thirty minutes, and then rushed off. After church we went to CC's house for lunch with her family. Emma got a Bella ballerina dance mat and dvd from Synthea which she loved and had to open right away. She made me go home and get her new tutu that she got from Megan and Kyle. She had a great Christmas! Hope all of you did too.
