A brief recap of some Christmas presents. I got a camera! Its quite funny, because now I have really noticed how great the pictures turn out with Darryl’s camera. Now if I could just figure out how to get them on the computer I would share some. I think Darryl said we need a new/different cord for that.
I was clever enough to save several toys that we had packed up when we moved to Kyiv. So that made for Daniel’s Christmas (and most of his birthday coming up), and most of Amelia’s Christmas. And thanks to DI (second hand shop), both girls got a Little People house. The girls had so much fun on Christmas morning. Amelia didn’t want to stop playing with the Little People house, and Kathryn told Grandma that she got a half full stocking. At least she seemed excited about it.
Kathryn got a doctor kit. This was a spontaneous hug, she was just so excited about it! We had one in Kyiv and she played with it just about everyday. But it was so cheaply made and we just couldn’t take everything with us, so the doctor kit didn’t make it to Seattle. She has asked about getting one for most of those 6 months. She also got a new doll; her old one wanted to be a kitty one day so Kathryn drew whiskers on the doll’s face. But when the doll didn’t want to be a kitty, the pen wouldn’t come off.
Amelia had a favorite pair of blue socks that she wore out. So she has been hoping for blue socks for a few weeks. And she got what she calls a giant bear.
Daniel was pretty much everywhere, but wouldn’t sit still for a picture. He wasn’t interested in opening presents, we actually didn’t open most of his until we got home from our trip on New Year’s Eve! But he did get some cars, puzzle, and a stacking toy.
Darryl got a new router, that isn’t really exciting enough for a picture.
