Twas the night before Christmas

Well, Christmas is upon us.  Where did all that time go?  R went to Grandma and Grandpa’s this morning and got to spend the morning playing with her cousins.   M & D love playing in the snow, as they never see it where they are from!   After a nap, we got everything together and headed out to Oma and Opa’s.   On the way there R pipes up from the back seat “Good driving daddy”.   Daddy replied “thank you” and then she says “That’s a compliment Daddy”.  In case we didn’t know!  

After a yummy supper we opened some presents.   R was just delighted with her gifts from Oma and Opa (game called Lucky sock dip, and a book of sing-along poems).   All too soon we had to head home to bed. Before bed, R wanted to leave milk and cookies for Santa.  (Despite the fact that she isn’t keen on someone being in our house when we are not aware of them).   We wrote a note to santa, saying “These milk and cookies are for you”.  She signed the note and drew a nice picture.  I’m not sure how keen I am on this whole Santa thing, but it seems to make sense to her.

We sorely missed having other family members around, especially the newest cousin, only 4 days old.  We love you all, and hope you are warm and well this Christmas.
