My house looks like a Little People factory exploded in it, we have eight dozen sugar cookies to work our way through, plus all the chocolate Chris stuffed in my stocking and half a chocolate cake from Christmas Eve dinner. Mia is so overwhelmed by the pile of new toys (and I swear we were very conservative! Well, ish.) that she totally forgot herself and consumed actual food (and a piece of chocolate, but hey, Christmas) and we haven't even collected the grandparent loot yet. As an extra-special bonus, nobody has vomited, which puts this Christmas head and shoulders above last year no matter what happens.
And you know, the first Christmas that your child understands is one of life's truly great moments.
Wishing a wonderful December 25th to you and yours. Tune in tomorrow for pictures, and just wait until you get a load of the sparkly red shoes.

Merry Christmas!!! I was just looking at the Little People products last evening when I was building my baby shower registry. Good to know that they are as fun as they look!

Merry Christmas!
Toys galore here, too. While my bear didn't necessarily understand everything, she sure was excited about the Christmas trees, Santa, and presents. She was mesmerized at church on Christmas Eve by all the lights and the music. Well, for the first half. The second half she was mesmerized by the contents of my wallet followed by the contacts in my cell phone. But all in all it was amazing.

Merry Christmas to you too, Beth!
We could put all of our Little People together with your Little People and probably re-stock a Wal-Mart somewhere.

I hear ya about the little people - the farm, castle, playground and pirate shape invaded my living room this morning. It's amazing how quickly you become immune to the fell of stepping on plastic. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! What ever happened to the mystery bumblebee toy Mia wanted? (if memory serves me right?!)

Glad to hear you three had a nice Christmas. Any day without vomit is a great day IMHO.

Merry Christmas.
And glad no sickness. I actually brought medicine to the in-laws b/c every time we come here Michael gets sicks. It might have something to do with their inability to turn their fucking heat on. (Sorry, shouldn't swear on someone else's blog). But you know what, no illness.
What is up with the bloglines nonsense?
