Merry Christmas, Everyone!

A Christmas Day like no other. It's so hard to sum up in a short post how great it is to see three little ones enjoying all the festivities associated with not only the season but the big day itself. Big stockings in the morning, after which Isabelle stated "Santa didn't bring me my Princess Fiona dress!". Rest up, little one, lots more Xmas to come after the stockings are done. A wonderful breakfast, consumed while Isabelle took a tiny peek into the family room, "I saw something pink, and it's just what I wanted!". On to the main event, which definitely did not disappoint. Isabelle's highlight was her new salon, complete with hair dryer, curling iron, and of course, nail polish. She was going around drying anyone's hair that she felt needed it. It was a hectic whirlwind of snacks, phone calls, multiple outfit changes and presents stacked as high as the Peace Tower. Oliver happily watched all the action, and has practiced lifting him up to get an even better look. Isabelle capped off her day with a brand new guitar and a jam session with Olan, all before retiring to an awesome turkey dinner with all the fixings. What a day. Thanks so much to everyone who thought of us, especially the little ones, who appreciated all your calls, cards and presents. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
