Santa comes to Sicily













Christmas morning was wonderful! Not only did Jack sleep in until about 9 am - but we took our time opening gifts and really enjoyed the day to its fullest. I was shocked that Jack did not come running down the stairs and start ripping into gifts - but instead he really enjoyed picking one from under the tree and taking it to the owner and "helping" them to open each gift. This year he had a few more complicated gifts that need some assembly so after opening we would take a break while we put it together and we'd all play a while. I am sure that these long - quiet days of Christmas are limited... I cannot imagine two little boys being quite as calm! After a few hours of opening and playing Jack said he was "all done with presents for now" and we read some books and he took a long nap in his new sleeping bag even though there were still many gifts left to open. It's the firt of January today and we are still opening a gift here and there.

Jack LOVED his sleeping bag and his hungry hungry hippo game!!! Those were the two biggest hits this year. He has taken his own photos of each of them and I'll download some of his pics for all to see soon.

Merry Christmas to all and I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday!
