Merry Christmas, all

Wishing a merry Christmas to those we love - our friends we see all the time ... our friends & relatives further afield, whom we don't necessarily see much, but think about lots ... our parents, whom we are grateful to have with us ...

Especially warm wishes to Rick & Lise, who are undoubtedly having a bittersweet Christmas. Alex is in all of our thoughts.

The kids were very excited tonight, having difficulty settling down for sleep. But eventually, of course, sleep did prevail over the excitement.

Check out the quotable quotes, to your left ... M had a really amusing one tonight. They continued the longstanding family tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve. E opened one from Grampa & Brenda (oops, should've saved that one 'til tomorrow, I'm thinking!), and found a pink Rock 'n' Roll shirt! M opened one from Julie, and found a sweet sweater (which went right on, and stayed on until bedtime), and a "Puppy Surprise" (I think it's called) - a mama doggy with 3 little pups inside her tummy. Sweet! They're all soundly asleep with her.

Anyways. Santa has already been here (!) (shouldn't I be in bed before that happens?!), and it's officially Christmas day. Meaning I had better get to bed. No doubt it'll be an early morning.

Merry Christmas!
