Christmas

The kids woke up before we did and took off downstairs. The sound of Ada squealing with delight could have awoken anyone. By the time we got downstairs, the kids had their stockings opened up and Ada was into her candy, well, when she wasn’t in Liam’s.

The opening of presents took way too long – well, they get too much. In all, it took at least four hours looking at the time on the photos. Then once they were all open I took them downstairs for them to see the Wii that Libby had sent them. At this point, they still didn’t know that Dori was coming to visit that night (although too late for them to see her, so that had to wait until the morning).

One highlight was Helena getting a stuffed sea turtle. Ada runs into the entrance and begins to cry. I guess that she wanted it more. I had to run out the next night and look for it at Toys ‘R Us before problems occur.
