Merry Christmas!
We're taking a break from new presents to play with my brothers' old Legos again. :)
Breakfast accomplished. SAM has been persuaded to open most of his Santa presents (we compromise between North and South - some Santa presents are wrapped and some aren't), and even to look at his stocking. It's nice that he appreciates each present so much that he wants to stop and play with it right away, but it makes it hard to get him to open them all (and cutting back the number of presents just doesn't happen with all these relatives, somehow). :) It took him an hour to get into his stocking, because he wanted to stop and eat each piece of candy off the top.
I have books, and the Wii Fit Plus game. Hoshiadam got the Biggest Loser Wii game, so we should be all set for any New Year resolutions we might decide to make...
It's a pretty fun Christmas - we are at my parents' house near Memphis *waves at Outlawcoon*, and hoshiadam's parents and sister came to visit, as well as phoeclipse and aveareya, and my sister decided at the last minute to travel from Hawaii after all! Ryan and Ami should be here in a while, with Ami's parents and brother and sister, and at that point I expect the house to burst from all the people... And then tomorrow my grandfather, aunt, maybe uncle, one or two cousins, and cousin's fiance are due to arrive! :) Yay family!
We even had a Christmas with white spots - in between the torrential rain and hurricane-sounding winds, some snow managed to accumulate on protected spots on the cars! :)
