Some delayed Christmas cheer








Did I mention that the battery in our digital camera died on Christmas morning? Yeah, right about the time Margie Grace was getting ready to make her way down the stairs at my grandparents' house to survey her Santa loot for the first time that day. So we had to go to plan B -- while Neil manned the video camera, I borrowed my Mam-ma's digital camera for the morning. Just last week I was able to make a disc with all of our Christmas pictures on it so I thought I'd share some. As I mentioned before, we had a wonderful Christmas season. Margie Grace was particularly entertained by the festivities this year as it was the first time that she really knew that something special was going on. And, having ample practice during her birthday in October, she was primed and ready for opening lots of presents! By the way, Santa did fulfill Margie Grace's two requests this year; she received her much-anticipated kitchen and some bubbles.

**Please note: The kitchen set and items on the couch comprised MG's gifts from Santa. While she was blessed, Santa IS on a budget :) The wrapped presents in the background were the stockpile of presents to and from members of both our immediate and extended family. This year we got to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on my mom's side. You should see the place after 20 people unwrap all those gifts -- it's incredible!!

That kitchen set is awesome! I like the way they have started designing them now... Much better than when they looked like they were made out of rubbermaid containers.
