Merry Christmas!
What a nice day we had! Other than Zoe melting down and being a complete toad this morning, that is.
The girls slept a little late, which was appreciated, but it meant I slept a little too late and didn't get the sticky biscuits going when I intended to. So while they were baking, we opened presents.
Gabby and Zoe got some neat stuff - two helicopters for Gabby, which thrilled her to her little toes. A stuffed spider in crazy colors for Zoe, which thrilled HER to her toes. An adorable stuffed lamb for Gabby from Grandpa.
My favorite gift was my King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion, crammed chockfull of recipes and cooking/baking tips and advice. That was from Erich. He informed me that it wasn't an entirely altruistic gesture - more of an investment on his part. ;o) I also got a neat grater/zester set from my father in law, which was promptly put to excellent use on the sweet potatos.
Erich got a flashlight from his dad, a book from me (Get Fuzzy - he's been snorting and howling with laughter all afternoon), a wall plaque with a sappy sentiment from me, and my favorite gift to him: a t-shirt that shows a policeman looking officious, with the slogan, "Obey gravity; IT'S THE LAW." Heh heh...
Allie came over and spent the afternoon with us, and we greatly enjoyed her company. She's always fun to have around, and she just adores the twins and is very good with them.
All in all, it was a blessed, peaceful, relaxing day and we had a very nice time.
