Dec 25th
Earlier this month I took Kira over to my friend twinklergirl‘s house for Breakfast with Santa. We had a nice breakfast and all the kids played together rather well. When Santa arrived, Kira and I waited on the couch for her turn and suddenly (like a light switch) she figured out the whole Santa thing. She was a bit nervous but went right up to him at her turn and they talked.
So last night I stayed over at Casey’s house for a change and we were up until 3 am assembling her kitchen and cleaning center and bike and wrapping everything else. Yesterday was a drag of shopping and crowds and I ached all over. Casey provided the pizza (which is our family Christmas Eve traditional dinner) and Strongbow and we had fun.
This morning Kira was so overwhelmed with the plethora of giftage just for her. She opened the smallest stuff first and wanted to stop and play with each item. We managed to not-quite-rush her but got everything opened by 11ish, had breakfast and went our separate ways. I napped and spent the rest of the day over at twinklergirl‘s. Nice day.
My one gift was the halfway decent knife set I asked for. I got Ginnie what she’s been asking for for years, the entire set of Xena on DVD. I got Casey a backpack full of underwear and socks and showering products. Thanks Dad for coming through this year.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday of choice.
