Christmas 2008, part 2
Christmas Eve. Margo is off from daycare until the new year. Maude's tooth broke through and is front and centre in her mouth. We all went for a family party at my work, and Margo got to run down long corridors in a sugar-induced-surrounded-by-other-kids frenzy. Santa even made a quick appearance to hand out a gift before he started on his Christmas delivery route.
Margo and Donna made sure to leave cookies for Santa. Though this might seem like bribery, I assure you that they were left with the best intentions.
Post-Margo bedtime, the last of the gifts are wrapped, Donna logged a good three-and-a-half hours in the kitchen for a couple of dishes for tomorrow. Maude was held and rocked and nursed to keep from screaming.
You know what... I'm exhausted, and if I'm exhausted, then that means that I should check in on Donna in her bath to make sure that she didn't fall asleep underwater.
Here's Margo's reaction after we decorated the tree and we plugged the lights in.

And Margo and Donna preparing cookies for Santa.
Merry Christmas! Baby's first Christmas!

That is to cute, Margo you are very generous with the cookies for Santa Claus,he will get really fat.
And what a good idea to leave a carrot for the raindeer.
I love, love that video it is the next best thing to being there.
That made my day.
Good idea to show us the tree,and around the room, that is really beautiful. Love you all, Grandmaman

Margo you really love the lights in the tree, don't you.
You all made a good job decorating it. Next year you will probably have new ideas, then there will be many more years. Love you,Merry Christmas, Grandmaman.

Wow! So many cookies. I'm anxious to know - did Santa come? Were was Margo happy with her find? I thrilled to hear that Maude received her first tooth just in time for Christmas. Isn't that a little young for teeth? Is she an over achiever? She seems like such a mild, laissez-faire kind of a girl. Merry Christmas All and a Happy New Year.- Tonton Adrian et Tatie Julie
