Christmas Log 2010

Christmas is at home this year (although we will be leaving on our Mexico Vacation on New Year's Eve)!

*Here's how the days events went down:

9am - Violet wakes up. She doesn't remember immediately that it's a special day. But after we ask, "I wonder if Santa ate the cookies and milk we left out for him?", she screams, "Christmas!!".

9:05a - We meet Auntie in the living to investigate. It is quickly confirmed by Violet that Santa, indeed, did come in the night. He ate two of the three chocolate cookies, leaving crumbs trailing over some presents and into the fireplace. And, according to Violet, "Shanta Yilly Yikes Milt" (translation: Santa really likes milk). Then, then, Daddy said she could eat the leftover Santa cookie because, "It's Christmas today, Violet, you can eat whatever you want". This can't be good.

9:20 - Violet is covered in chocolate. She is screaming and crying, "Don't want Christmas dress, no, Mama, no!". I swear, if she hadn't had SUGAR for breakfast she would have been in the perfect frame of mind to wear her pretty Christmas dress. Alas. She's decided she would prefer "nudity", but since we have guests coming over, we compromise. She's now topless except for a pair jeans....and a smile.

10a - James has arrived with even more presents to put under the tree. Expensive coffee is being brewed.

{*UPDATE: I regret that my "Christmas Log 2010" was forgotten after this point, but all in all, it was a great day! tara jean}
