Bronwen and Ava's words, "Santa brought us a lot more presents this year!!" The highlights were: A "very fast" bike for Bronwen (Santa snuck it in her room when we were downstairs opening up presents), The Looping Lightening Roller coaster for Ava, that had literally over 50 steps to put together (ack!), and Cate's very own zhu-zhu pet (I swear, those are the cutest little toys ever!).
Bronwen said, "It has a kickstand, so I never have to lay it [bike] down. Now I can go as fast as Nava [neighborhood friend]."
Ava said, "This is coolest present I ever got!"
Cate thought, "Oh! Where does that pink, noisy critter think it's going?!" She crawls at warp speed to get it!
On Christmas evening we had our wonderful friends and their adorable little boy over. We had an awesome dinner filled with great conversation, laughs and Malibu rum. The kids were so cute at their special table with their Christmas place mats, plates and champagne glasses (sparkling cider -they actually toasted to each other!). There's something to be said about people who just get you. :-)
Anyway, Conrad and I both commented it felt weird that suddenly the holidays were over. I guess we were so used to our December routine of turning on our Christmas lights outside, turning on the tree lights, turning on our three Christmas villages and listening to Christmas music on Sirius in the afternoons and during dinner, that it felt like we were missing something without it.
With that said, I can't wait until next year to do it all again.
Here's to 2011; here's to new beginnings.
