Christmas highlights
- A few days before Christmas I was in the kitchen preparing Toby's lunch, Rosie was in her bouncy chair in the living room and Tobes was pottering about. I put his lunch on the table and went in to get Rosie to find her wide-eyed and covered head to toe in gold glitter. "TOBY!! Did you put glitter on your sister?!" "Mommy, I wanted to make her sparkly." Rosie sparkled for days afterward because getting the glitter out of the fuzz on her head was virtually impossible.
- A few days later and Tobes is refusing to eat his lunch. "I'm going to save my lunch for Santa." "Toby, I don't think Santa wants your lunch. Mrs Claus will make Santa's lunch for him." "But Mommy, he's very fat. He needs to eat a lot so he can eat my lunch too."
- On Christmas Eve Rosie laughs for the first time when Elizabeth says in a silly Southern accent "Pass the hairspray, Rosie Rae." That little detail will definitely be going into the baby book.
- 3.15am on Christmas morning. "MOMMY! DADDY! SANTA"S BEEN HERE!! GET UP!" Yes, we got up.
- 6.00am the day after Christmas. "Has Santa been here again??"
- The day after Christmas and Tobes is not eating his lunch again (do you see a theme here?). I try to encourage him to eat and he gets a sly look and says "Santa's not watching me now. I can be naughty again." Oh dear.

yay - pass the hairspray Rosie Rae!! :) Mary Catherine hasn't figured out that the big FC isn't watching still...
it took her two days to open her presents - she had to play with every one she unwrapped, unless it was shoes. then she'd just say, 'i think it's shoes again' and toss them aside!
I think one of the highlights of my Christmas was looking through old photos. Lots of classic ones. i found the one of all of us going to the New Kids on the Block concert!
I think Toby and his skills at negotiating are going to make him quite the handful when he's a teenager!
