Post-holidays

Well, we had a very Merry Christmas. Started with a nice, if a little chaotic
Christmas eve. service. Then home to bed to wait for Santa. The kids left
Santa apple pie and carrots for the reindeer.
To our surprise the kids slept until 8:00 am on Christmas morning, Tom
and I had to lay in bed and wait for them to wake up.
Everyone got something they wanted and were very happy with their gifts.
We spent the day lounging around and playing with our new toys. I did some
cooking, made a yummy chicken pot pie, with homemade crust and everything.
Then in the evening our friends Greg, Rosie, Lily and little Daphne came over
for a glass of wine and snacks. The kids had fun playing together.
Yesterday, I took the kids and a couple of friends ice skating, Marcus had
received skates from Santa and was anxious to try them out. They all had
a lot of fun, and not too many spills on the ice.
We will probably spend the rest of the break trying to remember what day it
is, relaxing, working on some homework and seeing friends.
