The tree after Santa had come

I came downstairs first to set up the computer with my Dad on skype and to video tape Sofia coming down the stairs. Sadly, my camera and I managed to screw up and there is no video. So in order to preserve the memory here's what happened. Sofia came downstairs and ran to the computer to talk to my Dad. When we prompted her with "Did Santa come" she walked right passed the presents and over to inspect the cookie dish. She bent over and picked each one up in turn and looked inside. When I asked "Did Santa eat his cookies and drink his milk" She said "No Mumma not milk, hot chocolate!" (or rather hawt cockyate) Then Grant had to prompt her to look at the tree and the presents that were waiting for her. She immediately recognized the portable DVD player for what it was and picked it up and ran to our computer to show it off to my Dad. Then she sat and played with all her new craft supplies.

The DVD player has been renamed "my 'puter" and she pretends to type on it like she sees us do on our laptop.

She didn't really understand the whole Santa thing and that is ok by me. Next year she will for sure. She really liked opening the presents and since she got to open Maizies this year there were tons for her to open. Next year will be a bit tricky because Maizie will want to open her own!

I love Christmas and this year was great. Lots of fun memories!
