My cousin and his wife came for a visit yesterday. We don’t get to see them very often, so it was nice to see them. We exchanged Christmas gifts; we visited; it was a good time. Cricket and Thumper enjoyed opening presents again, but I’m not sure if they had more fun with their new toys or the wrapping:
“I’m a present!”
That poor bag definitely paid for itself. First Cricket wanted to sit in it, and I think he sat in it for five minutes. As soon as he got out, then Thumper wanted in. But Thumper is a perpetual motion machine, and he was tired to boot, which meant he was going even faster than normal just to keep himself awake. He sat in the bag for a couple minutes, then he wanted out. Then he wanted back in, and then he wanted back out. I bet he was in and out of that bag seven or eight times. It was pretty entertaining.
We still have a couple Christmas celebrations to go yet, but I’m enjoying the seasonal extension. It just didn’t feel like Christmas this year since we didn’t get the tree up right away.
Are you all finished with Christmas? Or do you still have some celebrating left to do?

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
We are definitely done! The lovely basement flood we had three days ago put a definitive end to our holiday celebrations.

Oh, no! Flooded basements are awful – ours flooded way too many times this past summer, and I hope it won’t flood again this year. What happened?

We could save ourselves a fortune by buying them a selection of boxes and wrapping paper. They’d have just as much fun and we wouldn’t be broke.

For a long time, we talked about doing just that – they used to love playing in boxes and things. But I think they’re starting to grow out of that phase; they each got a new toy, and they spent quite a while playing with those, too. 🙂

The end of full innocence, but don’t throw away the boxes yet. soon they’ll be sick of the toys and expect them back.
