Today is the first day of 2010 - a new decade some say. We have had wonderful holidays as a family. We have really enjoyed this holiday season, just us. We didn't have anyone over, we didn't go anywhere or travel ... it was really nice.
Victoria - I think the highlight of your Christmas was your scooter ... one thing you wished for, and of course, was fulfilled. You also received some very thoughtful and wonderful gifts from our family and distant friends who are like family. A beautiful music note necklace, a dragonfly charm, the beloved lemon drops from Grandma, skinny jeans, etc.
William - you are a happy boy and becoming more and more helpful all the time. You were really wishing for a transformer for Christmas, and alas - the wish came true. You have also been enjoying the zip track and board games. You just LOVE Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Thomas - you are a charming soul and I love the way Christmas just beamed in your eyes. You had wished very hard for another pillow pet and 'kitchen set'. Santa was a bit confused as to what exactly a kitchen set was, but he came through - and you got a toy microwave and a sunshine market thingy that delighted your heart. You also got the beloved duck pillow pet. I was so touched when Victoria had a sleepover and you let her borrow it, it was even your idea. You are so sweet and generous.
James - you are growing and growing and babbling and babbling - more and more every day. Your big ticket item this Christmas was a rocking horse, but of course, you don't want anything to do with it. Everytime we try to put you on it, you cry. Oh well. You are far more interested in the plastic pots and spoons from Discovery Toys, surely your favorite pastime - playing with pots. Real or plastic, does not matter.
Mama was VERY appreciative of some clothes that arrived in the mail from various sources. Clothes and pajamas and socks - all much needed items !
All in all - it has been a good holiday season and I am eager for the New Year's blessings.
LOVE - MAMA
