Christmas was wonderful, but a bit of a whirlwind. We enjoyed Christmas Eve with the Rogulski's, opening a few early gifts is always fun. The Sanalila clan came up from FL on Christmas eve and we all enjoyed a crazy Christmas morning together. Lily got overwhelmed after about 20 minutes when she realized the whole "show" was not about her alone. She walked off into her playroom and decided to watch cartoons...leaving pretty much all of her wrapped gifts still under the tree! Luke was buried in wrapping paper but found a toy he really liked so that kept him quiet for a few minutes. He was pretty overwhelmed as well. I guess we all were! Cousin Isabella enjoyed her "first Christmas" as well. We had Christmas dinner at the Rogulski's. Isabella's first birthday was the 26th, so it was fun to celebrate with her. We went out for lunch, and had cake and presents back at the house afterwards. She is pretty much walking already - pulls herself up and takes a few steps before plopping on her bottom. By the time I'm writing this, she's probably an old pro! Luke was watching closely, as usual, and is now doing the same thing. He's going to be walking by his first birthday too!
Our new year has started off very well. Lily is back at school now, loving every minute (as are we). Luke is happy to have some alone time with Daddy in the mornings before "the tornado" makes it back home again. Steph is super-busy with work, gearing up for the prime selling season in college publishing again. I love this time of year though - everything feels so fresh, so new, so optimistic!
