Christmas this year was busy as usual, but at least we didn't have to travel. So much has been going on we spent much of Christmas Eve fighting the crowds. Then we went to mass (with a very active child I might add) and finally collapsed at home. Before putting Roo to bed in her Christmas themed jammies, we went down stairs and set out cookies, milk and a note for Santa along with some carrots for the reindeer, then finally called it a day.
Christmas morning Reagan woke up at her usual time around 7 and we all went downstairs to see if Santa had arrived, which of course he did, much to her delight. We investigated some of Roo's loot then went into the kitchen to make pancakes for breakfast. After breakfast we opened our gifts and after the excitement we were all ready for a nap.
That evening Auntie Courtney arrived with her usual ridiculous amount of gifts (she really is a great shopper, I think I might need some lessons) and she let Reagan open her gifts. I think Roo was completely overwhelmed and not quite sure what to do next, but regardless had a great time.
Then finally she was off to bed and we could all enjoy dinner. As usual Kerry and I celebrated in true New England tradition with lobster. We were so full we didn't even have dessert. Lots of activity, but a fun couple of days was had by all and we were all grateful that Court came to visit.
