Santa came!
John and I woke up first. John was showered and ready for work by the time Anna woke up at 6:30. Anna came into the family room, saw her Princess Elsa dress, grabbed it and ran into Will's room yelling, "Get up, Will! It's important. I got a princess dress!"
Will wasn't impressed with the dress, but he was thrilled to see his hermit crabs and other gifts:
Underwear! So silly:
Will enjoyed Henry Huggins and Ramona, so I'm hoping he'll like Ralph, too:
Will picked out a stuffed dolphin for Anna:
Anna and Flipper, Will and Three-Tip:
He also got her a Princess Anna doll:
She was sooo happy. Lots of hugging....
...that turned into wrestling, as hugs around here tend to do:
Will opened his gift from Anna, a Legos Contraptions kit:
Then Anna gave Daddy his gift, specially chosen by her:
She and John share an affinity for dried mango.
Anna offered to go ahead and taste test it for him:
We had a nice lazy day. John went into work for a few hours, then came home and I went to the hospital for rounds. Then we had brunch with baked grits and bacon and my variation on Santa's punch. In the afternoon, John and Anna played with her new Hello Kitty bat and ball:
And everyone except Will went for afternoon runs:
I still cooked a big dinner....because I love to! Ham, dressing, cranberry sauce, and sauteed brussels sprouts, yum!
Hope your Christmas was equally wonderful, and that your stocking was not filled with too many of these:
Merry Christmas!
