Merry Christmas Break

The kids just finished up their 2+ weeks of Christmas break and, wow, did they have FUN! There were plenty of new toys (actually so many presents that we forgot some of them in that bright orange chest!). They each got a homemade stuffed dog from grandma - a ballerina, a pirate, and a sheriff. And of course there were also legos to cover the table and carpet, with a few left over to wedge in the floorboards.
One of the biggest hits was a cheap plastic piano we found for Eden... loaded with a variety of disco beats and it even has a working microphone! Another big hit was two half-grown rabbits - Jarjar and Casper. On occasion we let them run around the downstairs... jumping on the couch, chewing our felt carpet, eating out of the cat's dish, rolling in the fireplace ash, and licking our chocolate wrappers.
As for Krista and I, we kept it nice and simple. I got some nice clothes and she got a song!
