Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! It's certainly been a merry one around our household! We all had quite a day, beginning at 5:30 this morning (Bobbin's idea, NOT mine, believe it or not), breaking for 3 hours at 10:30am when Bobbin just plum ran out of steam and conked out, and ending just now after a final bottle (she actually fell asleep at 6:45 this evening after everyone left and we had started winding down, but woke up at 8:45pm hungry and thirsty).
We have tonnes of pictures and video that will get posted shortly (after we all catch our breath!)
The tractor and babydoll highchair and diaper bag that Santa left were huge hits, as was the piano from Canada Grandma & Grandpa, and the moose from Washington Grandma and Grandpa. we have some great video of Bobbin motoring excitedly around the house on her 2-mile-per-hour automatic toddler-sized Craftsman tractor, happily banging out tunes on her new red toddler-sized piano, and hugging and kissing the giant moose (toddler-sized for riding :-)) that, rest assured Grandmas and Grandpas, you'll be getting copies of :-) we'll post them here too for all to enjoy.
Yup, it was quite a day. And Bobbin still has 2 presents to unwrap. It wasn't quite as nap-interrupted as last year, but this year it took all day because she needed ample time to thoroughly play with each and every toy and read each and every book as they were unwrapped.
By the end of the day though, after the turkey and fixings were long eaten and everyone had unwrapped their presents and digested their pumpkin pie, Bobbin was quite ready for things to return to normal. So much so she was pointing at everyone and pleading "bye, bye, bye"; it was clear as a bell that it was toddler-speak for "thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts, and it was so great to see you, but it's time for you all to go home now. Merry Christmas! Drive safely! And I look forward to having you over again soon!"
It was an absolutely magical Christmas for all of us, to be sure. I hope it was for all of you as well!
Pictures and video soon!
