Well I can't believe that Christmas is over already. What a great day! Hannah had a blast... she loved opening her gifts and those of everyone else... she did eventually understand that not everything was for her. Favorites at the time I would say ... books from Grandma Jeanne & Grandpa Bob, Dora socks & panties from Grandpa Nou & Grandma Anita and she really loved her new kitchen (from Nan & Pop) good thing it was the last thing she received.
A condensed version of Christmas at the Laforges
Christmas Eve -- I had said that I didn't want to be wrapping gifts Christmas Eve and well guess what... I was still wrapping. Hannah was so excited when I put her to bed I was sure she wouldn't sleep... she was still awake a 9 pm, a rarity in this house. Then the inflatable bed sprung a leak so Hannah was relegated to Mom & Dad's closet (good thing it is a walk in), so Grandpa Nou and Grandma Anita could sleep in her bed.
Christmas Day -- The morning started out with a flurry of activity... breakfast for all, turkey in the oven, tortiere in the oven for lunch, then arranging for Mom & Dad, Brent & Megan to see the kids on the computer, finally the gift opening started about 10 am. The computer turned out to be a great way for my parents to enjoy the festivities even from so far away. Hannah was so fun to watch... can't wait to see the two in action next year. We even managed to see Jimmy on-line later in the day.
Turkey Dinner -- turned out to be greater than I expected... I pulled it off with out a hitch. I have never cooked a turkey with company before.
It was nice to have Noel & Anita here to celebrate with us, Hannah definitely enjoyed having her Grandpa Nou and Grandma Anita around...
