Another year over...
I'm so tired, but we had a great Christmas.
I was up until 3 a.m. wrapping presents (Carlos is legitimately sick, so he tried to sleep), and then the girls crept quietly into our room at 7:30 a.m., all smiles and suppressed delight.
"Mommy," Dulce said quietly, "There are presents. There are... a lot of presents." It was super cute.
They were full of restraint, too. They snuggled with us in bed for a few moments, then allowed me to make them breakfast before they even tackled their stockings. They unwrapped slowly and savoured each gift, and throughout the day, they played meaningfully with as many as they could.
They threw all kinds of requests at me, but understood when I couldn't play because I was making the world's biggest dinner for four people ever seen.
I'm really proud of their behavior today.
And I got my wedding band, too.
Good day.
I could sleep for a week. But first I think I'll have a slice of pumpkin pie.
