Matt had to work Christmas Eve, but was happily home all day Christmas. The girls set up sleeping quarters in Makenna's room for the three kids--Isaac was on the bottom bunk and Jess had the couch--and thanks to nighttime medicine for aches, coughs and noses, they all slept in late. We were probably opening presents the same moment as the Americans in Germany. In fact, Matt woke up a couple hours earlier and went downstairs to make himself some toast, then came back to bed and was able to go back to sleep! When they all got up, the first thing we did was give Makenna another dose of Advil. Jess was doing much better, but Makenna's germs were just getting started. As a result, she didn't want a lot of pictures.
This new BatHat flaps its wings when you squeeze the left tassel.
There's a Kindle in the house! Rather amazing really. So lightweight and no back light. Easy to read during the day!
Huge breakfast of crepes, fresh fruit, whipped cream, eggs and bacon.
The box from Amazon from Brian and Hilary was the first opened. So perfect for my movie making crew!
Creative wrapping.....
And later the healthy family members (Makenna was told to go lie down) chipped in and made the now traditional steak with grilled pineapple salsa. It was perfection!
When you live overseas, sometimes Christmas gets spread out over a few days as a few extra packages trickle in. Another thank you to Brian and Hilary. The girls especially love the pillow cases with their names!
