Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas day. I was awakened at 7am by my 3 yr old niece bombing my bed with her stuffed animals. Then we came out to the living room and discovered many gifts were left by santa. We spent the morning opening gifts and watching Colleen stack all her new loot in a laundry basket. Colleen did a great job helping her baby brother (his first Christmas) open all of his Christmas gifts. Colleen was very sweet and insisted that you say thank you to the person who gave you the gift before you even open it. Colleen also insisted that Santa used the same wrapping paper this year and he did last year? Does she have a photographic memory? She remembered what my favorite song was from last year.
Anyways, all in all It was a very enjoyable Christmas morning. We had Christmas lasagna for dinner, followed by pumpkin and apple pie... It was wonderful. Of course it was hard to wind down the 3 year old after all the excitement and many sweets she got away with eating. But it was finally a success and now I feel quite tired -- its not even 10 o'clock and i could go to bed. I'm getting old. I found a gray hair in my head the other day... Well, my mom found it and pulled it out to show me. It was Very gray. Am I that old?
