Early Christmas Morning

As we usually do, we had our Christmas morning a few days early since we will be going out of town. This was the first year that Caleb understood enough about time that he knew it was the wrong day...but he didn't let that get him down :)

Cinnamon Roll Tree!

I learned two things today:

1. If you have a same-sex younger sibling, who is young enough to think tearing paper is super fun, but too old to get rattles and teething toys, you pretty much get double the toys.

2. Packing winter clothes make me sneeze...a lot!

I kind of already knew that about the winter clothes.  And seriously, packing winter clothes makes me so thankful to live in Florida.  It is so nice to not have to layer clothes on little kids.  But the packing is very haphazard - I don't know how much winter weather we will have, so I'm packing coats and hats and jackets and this and that to layer - tights, but also socks in case it is too warm, etc.  And of course when we come back, we will get home in the afternoon and any winter clothes we are wearing will be sweltering, so a warm weather outfit too.  And Dana, I don't mean to make you jealous, but we have plans to have lunch with some very good friends with alliterative names who happen to live in the same town as my brother.  Merry Christmas to me! 

And Merry Christmas to all of you too :)
