ho ho ho

The kids are playing with their new toys, so I decided to come on and say hi.  I've been up since the crack of dawn...no, wait a minute--the sun wasn't up yet when I heard the words "SANTA WAS HERE!".  Looked at the clock--6:00am.  Oy.  Of course, it didn't help that we set the alarm for that time.  Bum opened her gifts first...she got a Cabbage Patch Kid, a huge butterfly coloring book and crayons, the Bratz Fashion Mall that she wanted, and some other stuff.  After she opened everything, Dad started putting it all together.  Home Fry didn't get up til about 8.  He's been a little under the weather, so that was to be expected.  When I saw him moving around in bed, I went in there and told him it was Christmas, and he perked right up and ran into the living room to see what Santa left for him.  He got the wrestling ring, a remote control dinosaur and cars, a big dinosaur coloring book, and more.  They were both happy with what they got, and they haven't gone to Grandma's house yet, where more gifts await them.  The happiness came as a surprise, especially with Bum.  Last year, she received more, including a bike, but wasn't too happy.  This year, she hasn't stopped playing with anything--yet.  And if they're happy, I'm happy.  As the saying goes, 'tis better to give than to receive.  Me and Joey kicked some serious Christmas butt.  Yay.

Hope your day is going as well as mine.  Merry merry, all.

til next time...=)
