We hope that you all had a wonderful day today. It was quite a nice day here with us. The morning began with stockings and the girls must have been very good this year because Santa delivered – Calico critter house and a new Om Nom had Elspeth smiling while Katrine was doing a happy dance over her new bedset (complete with fluffy pillows) and Moshi Monster guide. After a delicious breakfast it was off for presents. Elspeth did much better this year. She gets the whole “gifts are meant to be unwrapped and hold good stuff” this year. Two of the girls’ favourite gifts were their new glasses with their names (a big deal because you pretty much never find stuff with either Katrine or Elspeth on it). Glenn? Can’t you tell that he absolutely LOVED the Santa mask that Katrine made him out of pipe cleaners? :-)  Me? A ticket to the gala performance of the WorldFigure Skating Championships for next year!!!
Once the gifts were done, the kids were pretty wired. Left my parents and Glenn inside to work on getting the turkey in and lunch ready and went outside to play in the snow with them. It was awesome. Our finished product was as cute as the fake snowman one of my gifts came in.
Of course, the day ended with LOTS of food and some games as a family.
