Wow, has it really been six months since my last blog post? That's too long! This morning we enjoyed watching the girls open lots of special gifts from family. I really missed seeing everyone and being around family for our usual traditions. Good thing I had the girls to distract me. They were very excited, but also patient with eachother. They did a great job taking turns opening each of their gifts and wanted to make sure we had turns too. All day they played and played with their new treasures and watched Christmas movies. Then we went out to dinner at one of our favorite family restaurants, Shari's.

Lisa has been asking to sleep under the Christmas tree for days now and we finally relented, once Lyra had fallen asleep. Ryan just set up the projector we are borrowing in our bedroom so we can watch a movie from our bed. Fun! I am so glad I get the next two weeks to have Ryan at home on vacation. We were just watching music videos on youtube from a new musical called "Matilda" and dreaming about taking Lisa to see it on Broadway. Maybe spring break? :)
