And Christmas was lovely, as they all should be.
Rosey chose the cookies for Santa. Then, while putting out the plate: 'Mama, I'm choosing all skulls for Santa. He'll think they're jolly.'
Hey wha? Show me.
She's right, though, an upside-down gorilla animal cracker does look like a skull.
The kids oohed and aahed and were very happy with their presents. My living room has now been the scene of many fierce bowling tournaments on the Wii, much new creating with pens and paints and crayons and special papers, and pitched Star Wars battle from an Imperial Clone Trooper with Obi-Won Kenobi's light saber. (Or the alternate but still-cool Bumblebee's arm cannon.)
I've emerged from the holiday chocolate-and-bonhomie coma to realize that
the house is a wreck
there are Christmas decorations everywhere
and they're not going to put themselves away, now are they?
*sigh*

"the house is a wreck"...Yes!
I think we'll be taking down the tree tomorrow. Bekah cried when I mentioned it today...she loves it. Sigh.
I love your new header :)
I've dumped most of our Christmas stuff on the kitchen table, with the idea of sorting and organizing and packing as I have the time. Ha!
I was wondering why Santa would find skull cookies, jolly? Could Rosie be thinking of skulls in the context of the jolly roger?
Happy surviving Christmas!
Glad you had such a good Christmas! I think the only reason our house isn't fully trashed is that we got invited out a lot over the weekend. But I'm keeping an eye on all that lego!
One good thing about not getting decorations up is not having to take them down. ;-)
Hope you all had a lovely lovely Christmas!
I've decided that I'm not doing anything but necessary cleaning until Orthodox Christmas. That tree is just going to stay up until then!
Will the Christmas Fairy not put the decorations away?
Isn't Christmas awesome?
They're not? Thanks for reminding me ;)
