Twas the Day After Christmas

and all through the house,
boxes and wrappings and a Zu Zu Pet mouse.
The stockings were opened by the tree with care,
some puppets, a slinky and kid chopsticks...one pair.

To say Ella hit the kid jackpot this Christmas is a vast understatement. Gift opening took over an hour and that was with gentle coaxing from Mom and Dad to push on. She relished each and every unwrapping. Once she discerned what was inside immediate requests to "OPEN" were made. A beautiful easel and art supplies from Aunt Judy have already found a place in our living room. A book club membership from Uncle Jim has been initiated. A homemade blanket from Mimi, a penguin backpack and the Muppet Movie from Josh. Trucks and pretend food from Tita and Tito, an Elmo phone and frog rain boots from Lolo and Lola. So many thoughtful gifts. Ella's head is spinning with joy. Requests for "Wah Wah" (aka Sesame Street) were made much later in the day today as she was so busy with her new found fun.

Merry and Happy to all!
