We had a very low-key Christmas, but all in all, it went very well. The Ducklings were a little overworked (read: overtired, overstimulated, overwhelmed, and just, well, over done) towards the end, but they thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas experience of unwrapping, discovering and playing with their new toys. We were fortunate to have dinner with my parents on Christmas Eve (followed by church), Christmas Day and Boxing Day, which always serves to reset our mood to "happy" and gives Edward and I a few more hands on deck.
The boys, engrossed
Reading Santa's reply to the letter they wrote to accompanied his milk and cookies. If I look a little off, it's because I came down with the stomach flu on Christmas Eve, and spent Christmas Day feeling pretty awful. I'm well on the mend, as is Myriam, who came down with said Plague on Christmas Day. Fun times.
Evelyn discovers her new wallet and the shopping carts Santa left in the basement. A total hit!
Everything is back on track at the moment, but we're waiting to see if Edward and Malcolm come down with the Plague. Perhaps he'll catch it just in time for his return to work next week. Indeed, after seven months off to help manage the brood, Edward is going back to work next Friday... for a much deserved rest....
