Christmas this year was a whirlwind of activity. It was lots of fun, but I am now exhausted. The first "round" of holiday fun took place on Christmas Eve at Gigi's house. The kids were old enough this year that they really understood what was going on. Even Owen- who hasn't cared about gifts at all in the past- was totally into it. We always open presents from youngest to oldest, so Owen went first. Both he and Olivia received a scooter and dress up clothes from Gigi and Papa. I was particulary happy that Owen received the action-hero dress up because Olivia plays dress up all of the time and Owen wants to, too, but has nothing to wear. Now, he has something that he can wear (besides Olivia's princess dresses). The action figure masks that went with Owen's costumes were so cute that Hannah and I couldn't resist trying them on. I don't know how she ended up with the Batman mask while I got Robin, though. I think I'm definitely "dark knight" material. We received so many nice gifts, but my favorite gifts of all were being with family and finding out that I'm going to be an Aunt again!!! That's right, my sister Hannah is expecting.
