We hope everyone has had a fabulous Christmas! This is the first year that Ben really seemed to get what was going on. When we woke him up, he was grumpy at first, but then we asked him, "do you want to see the presents?" and he said, "Oh, presents!" And was happier. We then got the girls up and went downstairs. The first thing Ben and the girls saw, was Ben's new kitchen. Ben did not want to open any other presents. He just wanted to play with his new kitchen.We finally convinced him to open his other presents as well.

He also got a Thomas movie from Santa, and reusable sticker pad from us. The girls were also excited about all of their presents from us. Kara got a new Lego Friends and something that is similar to a marble run. She has had a little trouble putting together the marble run, so she is working on the Lego Friends right now. Abby got a Gear set which she has already used to make a light and then to try to make a phone. The phone didn't quite work out, but the light did. She also got a book with 10 science experiments. She brought it to my aunt's house today and asked her if we could make some experiments there. We weren't really there to do experiments though.

We had a nice time, though it would have been better if my mom had been able to be here. She has been sick since Sunday and is still in Indiana. She will be here on Friday and we will celebrate Christmas with her on Saturday. The girls (and we) were disappointed, but they understood. Ben meandered around my aunts house today. He was attached to me at first for about 30 minutes. Then he finally let people talk to him. So, he didn't really notice a difference. On the way home from my aunt's house, we took a ride and looked at some of the Christmas lights. Now the kids are all playing with their Christmas presents. Joe and I are relaxing. I have to work tomorrow, just 2 or 3 clients, so not a busy day. From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas, or happy holidays, or Festivus. :)
