Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all are having as nice a day as we are. It's been peaceful and quiet--enjoying everyone's company. Maddy is having a good time with her new toys and snuggling a lot. It's been just hanging out here--a very pleasant low key day.
We had cherry cheese crepes for breakfast and they were delicious as always. Maddy loved them too although she only wanted a little. We never really make them, not because they are hard, but because they are so rich. They are a bit time consuming, but not too bad. We are having chicken ala king tonight for dinner.
We opened gifts last night and it was fun to watch Maddy enjoy her presents and get the hang of opening her gifts! She got a bit overwhelmed and then had a hard time going to bed. Not too bad, but just overstimulated. She was fine after I rocked her for a while. She fell asleep in my arms and it's been a long time since that's happened. Normally she falls asleep on her own now without any help at all. So it was kind of sweet to rock her to sleep on Christmas eve.
Today she was quite the snugglepus as well. She's been really cozy and sucking her thumb. Her first nap was a bit short, I'm hoping she sleeps well for this one!
Ok, well, I need to go start thinking about Chicken Ala King (need to boil that chicken). And then I may even nap. We'll see! I hope all of you are having a very Merry Christmas with loved ones and enjoying the time spent. Christmas 2006 is only here once, make the most of your time with family. Because remember, the rest is just 'stuff'. (If you've been reading For Better or Worse in the paper you'd agree as well.)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
