Christmas At Our House
Yeah! It’s Christmas! Well, technically, it’s December 23rd, but it’s Christmas at our house. Chris has to work tomorrow and Christmas Day, so we opened presents today, so that the kids could open them first thing in the morning, and spend the day playing with the gifts and their daddy. It’s less rushed and hectic this way, and I think it’s a lot more special.
Kyra loved all her presents. Chris loved his XBox, too. He’s playing it right now. I think that today is the first time that I’ve got him something that he really, really wanted and liked. 
Elijah was more interested in the paper and the bows, than the gifts themselves. He did like Kyra’s baby doll, though. I think he’ll like the fire truck that we got him in a month or two, if he doesn’t start liking it right away. He’s still little. He will be nine months old in two days. Still little, but, oh my, he’s getting big fast.
I have to go to the store in a while. I forgot to get batteries for the Leap Pad that we got the kids. Why can’t things just come with all the things that they need to operate? I’m also going to ask Chris if I can buy a new outfit to wear tomorrow. Maybe he’ll feel generous since it’s Christmas.
