Yea, it really has taken until December 29th for things to calm down for a minute so that Mommy and Daddy could update the site. Sorry about that, but we’ve been very busy spreading Christmas Joy around!

Morgan last covered Christmas Eve, so I’ll start with Christmas morning. We woke up (not until about 8:30!) to a big bundle of presents under the tree downstairs from Santa! Morgan immediately started tearing in to hers, but I was still trying to figure out what the heck was going on for the first few minutes. I was really preoccupied with the basketball goal…I kept making shot after shot and wasn’t really interested in moving on (anything with a ball is a win with me!). But, once I got a few of my other presents open, I got the hang of it and kept progress moving to reveal all of my presents…we must have been really good this year!

After Santa gifts, we got ready and packed up in the car to head to Gigi and Poppa’s house. Riley and Taylor were there with Aunt Carrie and Uncle Manata, but we could hardly find them under the avalanche of gifts. We decided to tear in to Round 1 (Aunts and Uncles presents) and made quick work of unwrapping the goods. We immediately started to break in the new toys…they were great! After a short break, we started Round 2 (Gigi and Poppa and Mada presents) and had a whole new toy store in front of us. There were so many cool things that we had to have Pepa bring his big truck to help us haul it, which brings us to the next stop on the 2007 Christmas Tour…

We arrived at Mema and Pepa’s house at about 4:30 and played with TC, Renee, and Julie. Then, if you can believe it, we had even more presents to open! We got some really cool toys that kept us entertained in to the night. I had so much wassail, sugared plums, and fruitcake (or was it chips, juice, and cookies?) that I had to hit the hay while the party roared on without me.

Since then, our days have been filled with chores, stores, car rides, play room destruction, naps, snacks, and fun family days. I hope everyone’s holidays were as nice as ours!
