What a great day! Holidays are stressful with excited kids and the pressures of family, but today was a good day. The girls had a Christmas blast. Last nights candlelight service was spectacular and really set the mind for a wonderful Christmas day. I think we chose the right gifts for the girls. Getting the girls portable DVD players worked well since the weather has been icky all day. During the breaks in the drizzle they were able to try out their new bikes. I’m a little bit afraid of Robosapien and his Robopet, but Barbie Mermadia and the weird fairy things with the interchangeable body parts seem pretty cool. I have thoroughly enjoyed Jem’s special gift to me…
Zune!!!
It is the coolest thing. The memory storage is HUGE. (30 GB) It can also hold video, pics, and play radio frequencies. I’m really still learning all it will do, but so far it is a really neat toy and sounds great.
It has been nice having Djembe’s family here. The noise level is a little higher, but it is worth it for them to have valuable time together. The BIL surprise was a hit for MIL. It is really great for the girls to see their Grandmother. Although, I really think it is Tiki that is being spoiled the most. She has really taken to BIL, and MIL raises dogs so she naturally spoils them.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday.
Smiles!
