We had our small family Christmas on Saturday morning. Jeremy and I had stayed up late (well, 10:30) wrapping presents the night before; I don’t think procrastinating is such a good idea for the future. This year, Madison was much more into the idea of presents. When she woke up and came downstairs, she wanted to open gifts “right now”. We had her open her big gift first by pulling a carefully draped blanket off of a …. kitchen! She squealed with delight and was very excited. She especially likes the microwave that “dings” with each push of the button. She washed dishes in the sink and fed her baby in the little high chair seat that is on one side of it. We had breakfast – monkey bread and fruit – before opening the rest of the gifts. She also got a set of silverware (spoon, fork, and most importantly, a knife), some books, and a selection of Little People. Madison got Jeremy a bird feeder so they can watch birds together. I got him a certificate for a new cordless drill – somehow Sears was out of the exact model he wanted. I got money to go shopping for new clothes! I am really excited, even though it won’t happen until I am in a somewhat normal size later this year.
While Madison and I napped, Jeremy went and picked up Jason from the airport. We got all dressed up to go to Christmas Eve service at our church. Madison sat with us while we sang songs, and then marched up the aisles saying “bye, bye” to everyone along the way as we made our way to the nursery. We headed to Jeremy’s parents house after eating supper. Although she went to bed a little late, the day went well.
