Merry Chrismakah!!

Happy Holidays! We had a lovely morning, Dad fixed breakfast while we played and although you were fairly tired from your late night last night we managed to open all your presents! Your favorite was a bath toy and you insisted we take it to the bath and play with it, pronto! So you stripped down and spent a good 20 minutes pouring water in and out of cups and shapes. The funny thing is I completely forgot I bought that toy until the moment you opened it!!

You also got your first set of golf clubs (you enjoyed the bouncy balls most, the clubs turned out to be batons for you!) and a baby doll, and another favorite was your wooden elephant pull toy. You liked it so much that you didn't want him to walk alone so you took him for a spin with your little caravan of animals. You also bought a sheep for Christmas. Yes, through Oxfam you did. We hope to instill the spirit of giving, not just receiving at holiday time. And we know how much you love sheep, so thought it appropriate that you give one to those who need it most.

It was a lovely morning and now you are napping. I'm not sure what people do on the night of Christmas...is there some kind of rule or tradition? I'll have to go ask Daddy.
