We had a lovely dinner and Sofie and Bob's tonight. It was great to be with our family.

Rebecca is amazing. SHE wanted to play Santa! She took the gifts from the tree, both at our house in the morning and at the folks house midday, and took them too the recipients! No help needed. "this one goes to Mommy. This one goes to PopPop, etc,". And gnotobiotic just little things. She was picking up and carrying without trouble gifts that must have been over a third of her body weight as if they were nothing!
This Christmas is so amazing because Daniel is reveling in it for the first time. I had to tell him a dozen times that if he didn't go to sleep that Santa wouldn't come to our house ;-). He asks all these questions about Santa and his reindeer. He cannot wait for tomorrow morning to come. We are also trying to keep things on the up and up; I keep reminding him that the real meaning of Christmas is Baby Jesus, and that ST Nicholas was a good man whose example was Jesus, and that Santa comes from ST Nicholas, but I think it is more than a bit over the head of a 4 year old... But i couldn't help trying...
