a lovely holiday

We had ourselves a merry little Christmas. We made the yuletide gay (that's what the song says you know) and a good new year too. I definitely have some things I want to improve on this year but I will save that for another post. Here is a little glimpse into our Holiday fun. Christmas morning Rosie wakes up at her usual bright and early 7:30. We usually wait about 5 to 15 min for Scarlet to follow suit. Well, 8:00 came and went then 8:30 and 8:45!! Dave and I were getting really antsy, we wanted to open presents!! We mostly wanted to see Scarlet open presents but come on!! We ended up going in at 9 to tell her rise and shine Santa had come. Sheesh! The one day of her life she sleeps in...CHRISTMAS MORNING!!! It was worth the wait. My cute sister Amy slept over too so she could join in the fun.This was one of my favorite Christmases. Scarlet was so fun to watch, it was magical, just like it used to be when I was a kid. Rosie mostly slept, but Scarlet enjoyed her presents for her. Our California cousins came to town and we played nice and hard. This week I have sat around and tried to do nothing, nice and hard.

Isn't it so much fun watching the wee ones in their utter delight? I can only imagine Scarlet's squeals. What a cutie.
